Aug 10, 2020 — Loveland Pass was extra crowded on my visit due to traffic redirection from a closure on the Interstate, but I assume it's normally a very popular spot regardless. Mount Sniktau was my first goal, a heavily-eroded trail starting up from the pass. It's a very accessible 13er, so I put my headphones on and tried to get to the summit as quickly as I could. A trail leads the whole way, passing over a sub-peak along the way and over a couple of small sections of Class 2.
I continued from Mount Sniktau south along the ridgeline on a trail to Cupid, where the crowds thinned. The last bit to gain Cupid's summit is off-trail, but it's all tundra with some minor Class 2 at the summit. I dropped down from Cupid and left the ridgeline to follow another social trail that avoided re-ascending toward Mount Sniktau, intersecting with the approach trail.
