And Chief Mtn. Trail is open all year. The road (CO 103) is open and clear. If you want to check on the road conditions in the future, check http://www.cotrip.org/home.htm . All road closures are listed on that page. As you can see, CO Hwy 103 is not listed at this time. Have a great hike. It's a nice one!

Amazing view for a relatively easy hike! I would seriously consider snowshoes or even crampons in the winter though. Just got back. Amazing view for a relatively easy hike!

And by the way it always seems windy up there. This is one of our favorites, we would consider it a top 5 hike in this area. Thanks for sharing! Glad you liked it!

Room to stand aside w/ dog and let others pass if needed, not too busy but enough people where I wasn't worried to hike alone. Dogs are supposed to be leashed but we came cross a couple that were not; they were very well behaved however so no problems for my sometimes skittish collie mutt. Summit was quite pretty, good 360 view but very windy. We had to take a water/snack break further down the trail due to the wind. Would do this one again, THANK YOU!! :) trail is between mile markers 19 and 18, and as they said where the cars are is the spot!
