This hike climbs to the summit of Mt Sherman from Iowa Amphitheater. Along the way are a stretch of meadow with wildflowers, a long steep climb through talus, marmots, a pass and an exciting climb up a rocky crest with panoramic views. The trail levels out toward the summit, providing a satisfying finish. Altitude plus steep and rough terrain make for a longer hike than you might expect. As usual with fourteeners it's best to get an early start and keep a close eye on the weather.
