Description

There is nothing particularly interesting about this trail other than it's a nice, easy out-and-back for beginners/intermediates. The trail meanders along the east side of Mt. Crested Butte with nice views of the east river valley. The trail end will be obvious as there is a canal and cattle fence at the trail's abrupt terminus.
