The hike to Estes Cone from the Lily Lake trailhead is 7.32 miles with a total of 2,083ft net elevation gain.

The trail intersects at . From there, the summit is just 0.7 miles away, but it's a grueling of elevation gain to the top. The trail is marked with rock carins, but it's very easy to lose sight of them. Once at the top, look for the Eastern ridge to the summit. The views you'll be rewarded with will make your efforts worth it!
