Trail Overview

This trail begins off of Squaw Pass Road. At the trailhead, you will see a sign for "Historic Arapaho Springs". This is an easier trail in dry conditions, accessible by stock 4WD vehicles and higher clearance 2WD. In wet or snowy conditions, 4WD is recommended. The trails are comprised of dirt and rock, with most of the rock under 8". The trail leads to the Arapahoe Springs springhouse, a brick and timber structure constructed in 1937. A little less than a quarter mile down the trail is a camping area with space for about 4 to 5 five sites. There is an overlook at the camp area with great views to the north. The trail ends when it intersects the Squaw Pass East Spur, about half mile past the campground.

It’s very short, not very difficult at all. I was riding past and went to see what was up there. Not much to see other than a view on the far east end where the trail stops. Massive amount of bugs - mosquitos, nats, moths, ants - they are everywhere . Dont spend time here.
