Hell’s Hole Trail - Will Take You To a Beautiful Spot
Hell’s Hole is a hiking trail #53 that begins at the Chicago Creek Campground (west of Idaho Springs). The trail travels about 4 1/2 miles in to the base of Gray Wolf Mountain - a place called Hell’s Hole. But this is a misnomer - the area is gorgeous! With an open alpine meadow and small creek surrounded by high peaks, this place is worth the hike!
The trail goes through aspen stands, and pine forest. It is mostly an uphill climb and will take you a better part of the day to hike in and back out again. We had a picnic at the end of the trail (in Hell’s Hole) and just spent time taking in the beauty. -photo soon to follow. Post hike meal - don’t miss Idaho Springs’ famous Beau Jo’s Pizza!!
