Bergen Peak Trail - Evergreen

Distance: 9 miles round trip
Elevation gain: 1,950 feet

This out-and-back hike starts with open meadows before transitioning into a steady climb with plenty of switchbacks. I believe someone counted around 25 on a previous hike—and yes, there are plenty! But the effort is well worth it. At the summit, we’ll enjoy a well-deserved snack and take in 360-degree views of the eastern plains and the Rocky Mountains before heading back down.
