Wandering Wednesdays to Stevens Trail

Wandering Wednesdays is heading to Colfax to hike Stevens Trail, about 8 miles and 1700' gain. This is the perfect time of year to get this hike in before the weather gets to hot and all dried out.
The wildflowers are epic here some years so let go check it out.
This is not a beginners hike and can be strenuous for some. Most of the uphill gain is on the return back to the cars.
