Trail Overview

This is an easy, one-way trail with a few places to pass and some rocky and washed-out sections. You'll find a handful of dispersed campsites and great views of Idaho Springs. The end of the trail is a gate leading to private property, and there is plenty of room to turn around.

Went up about a mile and a half but had to turn around because the trail was covered in a sheet of ice. Fun for the first part though.

Trail was really easy until the last 3 mins. Snow was deep enough to get stuck. Had to use max trax to get out.
