About This Trail

Imported description
The Henderson Spur Trail takes you from the Henderson Mine parking area to the Continental Divide Trail. It is a relatively easy hike to switch back up 800 feet. It's mostly tree covered, and light to moderate traffic. It's a good way to get to the CDT in Empire, CO. The Henderson Mine area has a trailhead at the closest one. There is only a small sign on the north side of the road.
