The Monarch Crest Trail shares its path with parts of the Colorado Trail and Continental Divide Trail. This is a super popular trail for mountain biking, but it's a great running and hiking trail, too. The actual "crest" is about 10 miles long and features quite a bit of up and down on its way from Monarch Pass to Marshall Pass. The trail then turns downhill and plummets down to the town of Poncha Springs. Unless you plan on doing a point-to-point run, this trail is mostly utilized in partial segments.
