    Hiking

    At the lowest point of Horseshoe Gulch along the Colorado Trail, there is a seasonal stream which is a good water source to fill up your bottles.

    Hiking

    The Colorado Trail is littered with scenic areas above treeline, but this spot on the trail has exposed views due to being located in a treeless drainage. Horseshoe Gulch has a few trails of its own in the area, but the Colorado Trail is the most frequented trail crossing here.
