So I went to go scout out James Peak and the area in general and here are some quick thoughts…

James Peak is definitely not a bad hike taking this route. It would be about 8 miles round-trip. I hiked the 2.3 miles each way to Rodgers Pass along the continental divide and I found it really fun. It took me about an hour each direction. I was taking my time so I could take pictures and enjoy the scenery!
