We meet at the Safeway parking lot and carpool about 1.25 hour to the trailhead in Decker.

This is a moderate 12 mile loop trail has 1600 ft elevation gain and features ancient boulders and expansive views of surrounding peaks. Elk, moose and deer are likely sightings on this small section of the Colorado Trail.
