Triple Crown - Climb of McHenry's Peak, Mt. Alice, and Chief's Head Peak from Glacier Gorge

This is an excellent hike, listed as a "Special Event" in Gerry Roach's guide, "Rocky Mountain National Park: Classic Hikes and Climbs." It's long - a bit under 20 miles, with about 7,000' elevation gain - but it's quite beautiful and fun. There is plenty of scrambling and nice off-trail hiking on alpine meadows on the Divide. Each peak is well worth the trip.
