Itinerary description
Length: 4 miles one way
Starting Elevation: 9400’
Elevation Gain: 2600’
Maps: Mt. Yale, Buena Vista West topo/San Isabel NF
This trail is a nice hike by itself or as an approach for climbing Mt. Yale. It can be done either as a day hike or as an overnighter. This pat of the Trail is still marked as such on top maps. This hike enters the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness Area.
DIRECTIONS: From the traffic light in Buena Vista, drive north 3 blocks on US HWY 24. Turn left onto Crossman Ave. ( CR 350). Go west 2 miles, then turn right onto CR 361. Follow the road one mile then turn left onto CR 365. Continue for 3 miles to the trailhead on the left side of the road. Watch for the Colorado Trail sign. Follow the trail south across the creek and climb steadily past beaver ponds and up some steeper sections to the 11,900’ saddle east of Mt. Yale. Strong hikers may wish to climb Mt. Yale fro the saddle (add 2 miles and 2300’elevation gain one way).
