About This Trail

Imported description

A popular peak hike provides views of the Indian Peaks. The bridge at the Gregory Canyon Trailhead is from the Meadow Trail. The parking fees apply on weekends and holidays. Either way is enjoyable. The uphill part is a little more uphill than the clockwise part, but the views are good on the way up. Go up Amphitheater, then upper Saddlerock, and then the peak. Take the West Ridge Trail to Ranger, then back to the bridge, and then back to the trail. If you want to do an extra workout, go back on the baseline trail.
