Day Hike - Yellow Aster Butte
If you like grand mountain scenery including beautiful tarns laid out in a small meadow, this hike is for you. It is definitely one of my favorites. We will start after breakfast at the lodge. If you haven't stayed there before, give it a try.

This is a moderate to strenuous hike due to the elevation gain. There is a lot of exposure if the sun is out, so please be prepared for that too. Please for confident you can do this hike safely and have fun doing it. I do ask the group to stay together.
