Note: This hike barely qualifies as a Class 2. Personally, we would be more inclined to classify it as mostly Class 1 with a little Class 2 thrown in.
From the summit of Loveland Pass, walk uphill to the NE along the very well-used trail that leads up to Pt. 12,915. Most of the tourists will not continue on beyond that point and many will give up even sooner, not being accustomed to the altitude and typically cool winds. The wide path carved through the tundra is braided at times. Do what you can to minimize further damage. The elevation gain to Pt. 12,915 will be 925 feet.
From Pt. 12,915 a trail continues along the ridge to the SSE for the .9 mile to Cupid Peak. Drop about 200 feet in elevation to the saddle, then regain 400 feet to the Cupid summit. The terrain is mostly broad tundra slopes with large rocks scattered around. In about an hour from Loveland Pass, the broad, relatively flat summit of Cupid Peak should be welcoming you.
There is a variation to this route that begins about half way up the trail to Pt. 12,915 from Loveland Pass. A well-defined, cairn-marked trail breaks off the main trail on the right. This alternate trail contours across the south face of Pt. 12,915 and intercepts the Pt. 12,915/Cupid Ridge at about the low point. From there, you can join in with the trail mentioned in the paragraph above. This will save at least 200 feet in elevation gain/loss.
