Monica Meadows

The trail immediately starts to climb in what the trailhead refers to as “seven switchbacks of formidable trail building”. It’s a 400m elevation gain to the plateau and feels a lot like hiking Pulpit Rock.

Views of Horsehoe Glacier sneak through the trees, but for the most part this ascent is swift and forested. It took us about an hour of climbing before the trail wrapped around the base of a ridge and ascended to the meadows.
