a week agoOne of my favorite day hikes in Colorado! There is so much to see! There is the possibility of large wildlife, so be aware.

a week agoNice trail well defined until last bit to summit of the Crags. Road to trail head was closed (April 2026) so parking was about a mile down the road.

3 months agoThe hike to the Crags in mid-January was about 4 miles one way from the parking area outside the Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp by the gate to closed road #383. Its an easier and beautiful hike with a decent amount of snow!
