A Classic Colorado Trek

By car, these two towns are over 100 miles apart... but on foot, the trek is approximately 11 miles. This hike begins 9,580 feet above sea level at the entrance to the Maroon Bells Wilderness – some of the most beautiful and extensively photographed peaks in North America. The trail ascends 3,000 feet gradually through meadows, forests, and above tree line before descending to Schoefield Pass and into Crested Butte.
