エルクヘッドマウンテンズ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ16

A famous stop along the Continental Divide for hikers and bikers, it still feels like surprising oasis when arriving at Brush Mountain Ranch. Affordable accommodations and camping options. But even worth a stop during the heat of the day just to charge electronics, use the Wi-Fi (as there is poor phone coverage all along the valley) and eating endless pizza and fresh cherries, while Kristin the owner offers cold beer. Meeting place for many cool Divide cyclists.

Black Mountain is one of the most prominent peaks in the Elkhead Mountains. The Elkhead Mountains are a relatively low mountain range compared to other Colorado ranges, but Black Mountain still stands tall at 10,865 ft (3,312 m.). The summit is interesting because it's more of a plateau and ridge, which gives you lots of freedom at the top to explore and find your favorite views. This area is very remote and so are the trails. It can be hard to stay on the trail to the top sometimes. It is unlikely you see other hikers on the trail.

Hahns Peak Lake is a pristine lake in a remote Colorado area. There are trails looping around the lake, there is a campground and visitors love to paddle board on the lake. It is usually pretty quiet in this part of Colorado, which makes your hike a solitary experience.

Meaden Pass doesn't get plowed til July 1. So it can still be snow covered in spots prior to July 1. The descent on the eastern side can be loose & rocky making it a little more technical than most descents on the ride.
