Overview

Hahns Peak, with its nearly 11,000-foot summit, appears like a volcano standing by itself in the mountains north of Steamboat, Colorado. Royal Flush is one of the prominent roads that will encircle the peak and offer spectacular views of the Steamboat Lake valley to the south. Rocky and rugged, this trail offers a back-country experience that is beautiful and exhilarating. Although the area was mined for gold in the mid to late 1800s, you will still find gold in the abundant aspen tree groves as the autumn colors brighten the mountain slopes. Royal Flush is picturesque. Do not forget your camera for this memorable off-road adventure.
