Hiking

Swampy Pass Trail is one of those paths that almost always offers solitude since such few people utilize the trail. The trail creates a loop that is uphill on the way out and downhill on the way back. You spend the majority of your time passing through open meadows, making this a great trail for viewing Colorado wildlife.
