Spectacular views and very steep trail that connects the Royal Gorge Park trail system to Fremont Peak and down to Tunnel Drive along the Arkansas River.

This is an ADVANCED trail that requires an advanced level of fitness and agility. Be Prepared for 1,800 feet of elevation gain/loss, loose rocks and dirt, significant exposure and a sustained steep grade.

This area is shared by recreation users, wildlife and hunters. Please respect all seasonal closures as part of a continued effort to manage multi-use public lands in Colorado. Closures are designed to support vulnerable bighorn sheep populations.
