Each season offers a new vista for your hiking experience in the 1,093,618 acre Medicine Bow National Forest or the 1,124,744 acres in Routt National Forest. In the early spring hike through the still melting snowdrifts of the winter, in summer through meadows filled with wildflowers, in the fall the colors of the gold of the aspen. With your only company the curious deer, "whistle pig" or high soaring eagle. Mix in the smell of sage and tall stands of timber at any time of the year and our guests report they have had the perfect hiking experience.
Trails vary from the easy .1 mile and handicap accessible trail to the 45-mile Continental Divide Scenic Trail. Open from Memorial Day until the snow closes it, usually in late October.
