Red Ledges Trail No. 019

Trail Overview

The Red Ledges Trail No. 019 is 5.0 miles long, starting at an elevation of 8,811 feet at its west end and reaching 9,513 feet at its north end, with an elevation gain of 1,637 feet and a loss of 866 feet. Sections of the trail are severely off-camber and extremely rocky, with some good-sized roots, yet very flowy, featuring several small creek crossings and one larger crossing, along with views that stretch for miles. The trail connects between Aspen Flat Trail No. 018 and Robertson Pasture Trail No. 020. Access to this trail can be gained from one of these mentioned trails or from Red Ledges Access Trail No. 160 off Indian Creek Road (FR 50079). The Red Ledges Access Trail intersects with Red Ledges Trail No. 019 at its midpoint, allowing travelers to head west to intersect Aspen Flat Trail No. 018 or east to intersect Robertson Pasture Trail No. 020. From the east end, the trail descends slightly for the first 2 miles before dropping steeply into the Indian Creek basin. After crossing Indian Creek, it ascends steeply toward the junction with Aspen Flat Trail No. 018. Loops can be created using this trail along with other area trails, including Red Ledges Access Trail No. 160, Aspen Flat Trail No. 018, Robertson Pasture Trail No. 020, and Shea Ridge Trail No.162. To complete these loops, Indian Creek Road No. 079 is utilized. Please be respectful of private property and ensure that gates are left as you found them. This area is sensitive and closely monitored, so it's important to stay on designated trails. Note that bike and motorcycle access is restricted from October 1 to May 1.
