Both routes have much to recommend and they may as well be in different universes. The Burns approach is all about the rock and you'll climb three of Colorado's tallest peaks. The Minnie option traverses vast tracks of tundra. Both have tricky segments--wish you weren't going solo. Crown and North Crown are off the radar, but then I've never run into anyone on any of these peaks. Earthline readers would love to hear about your experience.

Never done Niagara...Snare Basin looks very pleasant. Got a recommend for this approach (Burns or Minnie)...solo? I actually like Minnie area a lot but need to set a foot on a peak or two to the north east of minnie. <br /><br />Always check your site for interesting walks. Keep your head in the clouds.
