A fee may be required for the highway. Convenient parking spots are located near the 13,200 foot contour, just above a broad pass to the south. There is no trail to Rosalie. Hike south from the highway, across the marshy pass, and up the easy slope of the first minor peak \u2013 elevation about 13,500 ft. Go over this summit, or around the easy east side of the peak, and cross the broad saddle to the southeast.<\/p>\n<p>Climb the next minor peak \u2013 elevation about 13,520 ft \u2013 and look at the route more than 500 feet down to the deep saddle between 13,520 and Rosalie. I found a good descent route down and around the east side of 13,520; this avoids the steep rocks directly below 13,520.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-4975 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Mt-Evans.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Mt-Evans.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-4981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Mt-Evans.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Mt-Evans-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Mt-Evans-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Mt-Evans-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-4981'>\n\t\t\t\tMount Evans and Route from Rosalie\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Evans-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Evans-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-4985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Evans-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Evans-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Evans-2-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.schnizer.com\/SOTAblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Rosalie-to-Evans-2-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-4985'>\n\t\t\t\t13520 Sub-Peak from Rosalie &#8211; Route East Around the Rocks \n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>From the saddle at about 12,950 feet, the 625-vertical foot hike up Rosalie is an easy mix of rounded rocks and tundra.<\/p>\n<p>The broad rocky top of Rosalie has a large activation zone, and setting up is easy.
