Neko’s Top Reasons to Love this Hike:

​

1. Near Walker Ranch, but not as crowded with bike riders, this 5.2 mile out and back trail will keep you smiling the entire hike. 

2. Ponderosa, meadows, Aspens, wildflowers. So many pretty sights and swells. 

3. Ending with a summit view of Sugarloaf, Indian Peaks, Longs Peak, and Boulder Canyon.

4. This once was a working cattle ranch, read about it along the trail. There is an old sawmill within the first part of the trail, see picture #3. A side trail will let you get closer to inspect it further.
