There are hundreds of hidden paths, trails, and fun places to travel in our vast wilderness. Not all of our adventures need to be filled with technical driving and daring rescues. Some of the best places to visit are down bumpy roads. Hermit Pass Colorado is one of those places.

This trail takes you above the tree line with some stunning views across a wide landscape. Tucked down in the valleys along this trail are emerald-colored lakes that are great for fishing.

At the summit, you can see for miles around. The wind will tease your hair and tempt you to fly away. It isn’t the greatest place to stop for lunch, but there are some wonderful pull-offs down by the lakes just below the summit where you will be sheltered from the wind.

If this is a trail that inspires you, or you are looking for a new adventure we would be happy to help you plan your next trip! Don’t forget we offer a wide variety of trail guide opportunities!

Hope to see you on the trails!
