    Tips

    July 11, 2023

    The Colorado Trail intersects here with the road leading up to the upper Mount Princeton Trailhead. The road is very doable the first 4 miles with almost any 4wd vehicle. The last couple miles of road are only possible with high clearance.

    This is a common spot for the start (or finish) of a point-to-point hike on the Colorado Trail.
