Runner Notes

Excellent, smooth-ish surface for running and not as steep as most trails around here!

Description

Though it takes some work on the Gore Range Trail #60 to get here, this easy trail is short but filled with amazing wildflowers in July and early August. Wander through meadows with slight inclines past two lakes, then short ways down the a view of the Gore Range.

Flora & Fauna

Tons of wildflowers, and lupine in particular.
