Before I attempted this, I looked around for a good video showing this first timer what to expect from the difficulty of this hike was beyond a blue square. When I couldn't find anything, I decided I needed to make one! I know hiking solo in Colorado can be intimidating, or even with a group, if no one has experience with the trail. If you are a beginner and want to tackle this rewarding hike on your next trip to Telluride or Mountain Village, you can watch this video and feel a bit more comfortable heading out.
