Itinerary description
Wilder Gulch trail & ptarmigan hill & elk mountain ridge. This hike starts at the rest stop on I-70 at the vail pass. The hike follows the valley just east of the rest stop. The crossing of the stream and wet patch at the beginning of the hike are unrepresentative of the rest of the hike which is largely on a dry well used path or a jeep trail as you approach the ptarmigan pass. Optional extensions to ptarmigan hill and elk mountain ridge make the hike longer and more challenging and provide exceptional par aramid vistas.
