About this hike

North Eolus is a striking secondary summit to Mount Eolus, just 100 feet shy of prominence needed for official 14er status—but still widely climbed and recognized. It offers a short, scenic Class 2+ scramble from the Eolus saddle, with panoramic views and less exposure than its twin peak.
