Trail Length

8 Miles Roundtrip

Trail Description


The first couple miles of the trail are a winding path through high brush until you reach a section of the trail that is flat for a while.

Then the ascent on the mountain really begins. There are steep areas that make the hike challenging, but it’s a mountain that you are likely to see hundreds of others climbing.

Restrooms available at the trailhead.










Directions

Torrey's Trailhead: Take I-70 West out of Denver. Pass Georgetown and Silver Plume and take exit 221. Go left over the highway and take Steven's Gulch Road. Several miles up is the trailhead. Some people say you have to have a 4WD vehicle but I drove it in a Saturn sedan and I did fine. If you are unsure then try to take a 4WD vehicle.
