Description: Long dirt road to this hike. Park near intersection of road and Colorado Trail as Trailhead intersection indicates to save on unnecessary mileage walking down the road. Hike is okay with some good views, but really the best hike is the Colorado Trail Segment 27 that starts at the end of this trail. This trail is part of the Colorado Trail system.
