Herman Gulch Trail - A Challenge Hike
Herman Gulch Trail (TR 98) is a popular 2.5 mile hike just off I-70 before reaching Loveland Ski Area Exit 218.
The trail is an uphill climb the whole way, but a great workout for anyone. Starts in woods on old jeep trail then moves above treeline. Would not recommend it for kids less than 7 years old.
The view from the top is fabulous! With Herman Lake and the Continental Divide at your back, it is a crisp and refreshing hike. The tundra has subalpine flowers; take a close look because they grow low to the ground - tiny white and yellow flowers. And tread with care over the area.
Look into our section for extreme hikes and you will find recommendations for some really good trails - Coming summer 2008!
