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.

Running

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. If running up to Mount Princeton, the 4wd road sections are the main parts that are actually "runnable."

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