Herman Gulch Trail shares the path with the Continental Divide Trail the majority of its length. It climbs steadily from I-70 to Herman Lake at just over 12,000 feet.

Because this trail follows a creek all the way to an alpine lake in a basin of 13ers, there are wildflowers and other growth almost the entire way. This particular portion of trail travels through an open meadow before ducking back into the trees.
