About This Trail

It is possible to see the Rockies from this hike in the Arapaho National Forest. The pine forest at the top of the climb is thin so you can't see much, but the views are amazing. The peaks are clearly visible. The trail is very well-kept. On Saturdays and Sundays, parking along the road may be hard to find. Microspikes might be needed near the top.
