Description

Added by Leon Rossi

Quick hike to a glacier not far off of I-70.

Decent little hike that let's you see the scenery & seclusion without much effort.  I like to do this hike after spring skiing since it's on the way back to the airport.  Get off at exit 238 on I-70 and drive north on Fall River Rd for about 30 minutes.  You'll see the parking area (it's actually a parking lot with $5 fee box and porta potties).  Park and walk up the road about 100 feet and the trail will be on your left.  As you climb up there's a couple trails on the right that lead to nowhere so stick to the left.  You should arrive at the spot in 20 minutes so it's a quick in & out.  Easy enough to bring a lunch or just relax.  With the glacier being there you could also hike up with snowboard/ski's and get some runs in.
