Description

This is a beautiful trail through the woods to an amazing bird's-eye view of the Weld and Blue Mountain State Park area. It is the perfect spot to view the fall colors.

You'll encounter quite a bit of loose, fist-sized rocks on the trail, which during the fall can be completely covered in fallen leaves. Be careful and pay attention as to not twist/roll your ankle/knee. You'll also be required to do a fair amount of rock scrambling.

Steep ascent filled with young hardwoods at the base and awesome pine trees two thirds of the way up. Challenging spots with Step I, II. Worth it! — 2h 10m

Beautiful views and well-maintained and marked trail. EXTREMELY BUGGY this time of year—bring bug spray and keep moving! 2mi — 0h 50m
