Need to Know

Be alert for mountain bikers. This is black bear and mountain lion country- always carry bear spray!

Description

Follow this trail at the conflux of Hellgate Canyon Trail and Crazy Canyon Road #9959 to reach the peak of University Mountain. Continue on to reach the radiotowers on the next peak over. This is a steep and rocky ascent, so be prepared for a workout! It's 1000% worth it for the views of the surrounding canyons and the beautiful wildflowers in the spring, though!
