    Tips

    November 25, 2023

    The road up to the trailhead is a gravel road, perfect if you want to run in the mountains while staying on roads and avoid being exposed above treeline. There are dozens of miles of epic singletrack trails which break treeline if you set out north from the trailhead. You can do a loop up below Uncompahgre Peak returning via the El Paso Creek Trail, climb Uncompahgre Wilderness' epic 14'ers, explore ridgelines above treeline, or dive into creek valleys.
