Nice hike on Christmas Day. Icy in spots but "stabilicers" were plenty for the hike. There were many with nothing that made it but we did see one lady take a tumble. She was fine but likely would not have done so with something other than boots on her feet. Views were wonderful and certainly worth the hike.

Nice hike, even my 5yr old did ok on it. Views were wonderful even on a partly cloudy day. Ledge does drop off, watch smaller children. Centennial Pool was a pleasant stop on te way back down.

Easy hike but gorgeous views of the Notch. A great hike for a late start and a stop for lunch.
