Trail Overview

Walton Peak breaks off Harrison Creek trail and climbs to over 10,500 feet in Routt National Forest. The last few miles are the most challenging, with several rock ledges to climb and some steep off-camber sections before reaching the top. The last switchback below the radio tower is the best view looking east on a clear day.

Fun little trail with some great views towards the top. I couldn’t make it all the way to the top of Walton’s peak because of some snow drifts. I honestly might have been able to make it if I felt like pushing my bike a bit harder though.
