Default I enjoyed Jannets Cabin at Copper....
You got to ride the lift up then cross-country ski or snowshoe up to the cabin. It was like a 5 mile treck.

The cabin is operated by the 10th mountain division.

Default the hiking in the indian peaks area is steep, but beyond picturesque.
holy cross is another primo beautiful area, with even more water than the indian peaks.
