    Snowshoe to Mt. Colorow Overlook

    1.5 mi / 1000 ft gain
    Although this hike could be done in a loop, it is also doable in the out-and-back format. I would recommend the out-and-back during winter months when the more eastern loop (beginning around Mustang Dr) is vulnerable to small avalanches.If you want to do this hike in the winter, head on Alder Ave...

    Take exit 121 off Interstate 70 (a rest stop exit), and follow signs to a secondary parking lot near Grizzly Creek.

    Spouting Rock via Hanging Lakes Trail

    4.4
    2.85 mi / 1529 ft gain

The hike to Hanging Lake is rather steep and while it's only about 1.2 miles long it takes about an hour. Once yo...
