We went from the Red Pine Trail and took a right turn at the
bridge 2.5 miles up. The trail goes up and around a ridge
to the west, and then enters a granite boulderland. The granite
here is high quality and can be heard falling off of the Pheifferhorn
in the midday sun from the Maybird Lakes.
I summited the Pfiefferhorn
almost exactly 2 years ago, and was strangely brought back
to the same area on almost the exact same day.
4 - 4.5 miles one way
This hike took about 9 hours both ways, but we spent at least
1.5 - 2 hours sitting.
