Trail Overview

Radical Hill is more psychological than technical, featuring narrow ledge roads that can sometimes be off-camber. The trail, visible zig-zagging up the mountain face from Red Cone and Webster Pass, starts at 10,000 feet on Webster Pass and climbs to over 12,000 feet. Highlights include meadows, creek crossings, and remnants of Colorado's mining history. The ascent to the summit is extremely narrow and unsuitable for wide or long vehicles. The final turn is tight and steep, requiring caution. At the summit, you'll enjoy 360-degree views of the Continental Divide. Mountain sheep are often seen grazing, tolerant of photographers. Radical Hill connects to Deer Creek and St. Johns trails, leading back to Montezuma.

More rough throughout the trail than expected. Last couple switchbacks are definitely hair raising with a few narrow parts that have to be navigated carefully.
