This first section of the Bulwark Ridge Trail packs a punch right from the trailhead as you immediately begin ascending the hillside to gain the ridge up steep switchbacks. As you climb, though, the views keep getting better and better of Rocky Mountain National Park and the southern edge of the Comanche Peak Wilderness. Once you reach the intersection with the Indian Trail (which connects with the Miller Fork Trail) you've gained the ridge line.
