One of my favourite hikes in the region. Up in that mountain bowl is Emmaline Lake and to the left is a trail leading over the Mummy Pass into Rocky Mountain National Park.

I got altitude sickness just below Mummy Pass on a backpack through the north end of RMNP years ago. 10/10 would go back now that I'm in better shape
Elevation is rough. I took two flatlanders from Texas there this time and they managed the 7.5mi hike but we all felt it. It's such a remarkably beautiful area that I had to move here just to be close to it after seeing RMNP. This meadow is nothing compared to Mills Lake or Sky Pond. RMNP is a cathedral.
