Mount Ida is a popular hiking destination located in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. The trail to the summit of Mount Ida is approximately 9.6 miles long and has an elevation gain of around 2,500 feet. The hike is rated as difficult due to the steep inclines and rugged terrain, but the stunning views from the summit make it well worth the effort.

The trail to Mount Ida starts at the Milner Pass Trailhead and winds its way through subalpine forests and meadows before reaching the alpine tundra. Hikers will encounter a steep and challenging ascent up the mountain, with rocky terrain and switchbacks. Once at the summit, hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys, including the Never Summer Mountains to the west and the Mummy Range to the east.

Hiking Mount Ida is an unforgettable adventure for experienced hikers. The trail offers an opportunity to experience the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains, including wildflowers, alpine lakes, and wildlife such as bighorn sheep.
