About This Trail

The Colonel Trail is a 1.5-mile out-and-back trail located in the eastern region of Nevada. With an elevation gain of 843 feet, the trail offers a moderate challenge as it ascends to a maximum elevation of 2,159 meters (approximately 7,083 feet). The dirt path winds through a semi-arid landscape typical of the Great Basin, providing hikers with scenic views of the surrounding mountain ranges and open vistas. Due to its elevated location, the trail may experience snow in the winter months, making the spring through fall seasons the most pleasant for hiking.
