Description Suggest change

Although it's somewhat lost in views from the east between hulking Mt. Audubon and striking Mt. Toll, Paiute has a 1,500-foot northeast face, a rugged north ridge, and a fun spring snow climb and ski descent on the south face.

Getting There Suggest change

Approach from the Mitchell Lake Trailhead over Mt. Audubon or via the trail from Coney Flats.
