Description
Added by Chelsea Gribbin
Park your car atop Loveland Pass and follow the scenic ridge to two of Colorado's highest peaks, Torreys and Grays.
Leave one car at the Grays and Torreys trailhead outside of Bakerville off of I-70. Then drive to the top of Loveland Pass and park in the parking lot at the top. Begin the climb up to the saddle between Sniktau and Grizzly. When you reach the saddle, take right and continue on to summit Grizzly Peak.
At the top of Grizzly is a great place to sit and have a snack in the windbreak, before descending 1000ft to the saddle between Grizzly and Torreys. There is not really a trail at this point, you are just following the high side of the ridge.
The saddle is the last grassy area you'll see for awhile. Begin the rocky, slippery ascent up to Torrey's where unlike the main trail on the east side, you will literally not see a soul.
Finally, after a 2000ft climb you will reach the summit of Torreys. The view's are amazing, you will feel like you're on top of the world. Descend the main trail to the saddle between Torreys and Grays and you can either descend here, or continue up the Grays trailhead to tag the summit.
Finally, continue down the main trail back to the trailhead where you parked your first car.
