Round Hill is an easy connector road within the Pike National Forest, southwest of Fairplay. It begins in the Sheep Creek valley below Brown's Pass and climbs south-southeast through Ponderosa and Aspen forest. The trail surface is primarily packed dirt, with sporadic small rocks and occasional steep grades. Near the road's midpoint, it crosses Breakneck Pass and proceeds south across the land management boundary (Bureau of Land Management) and then forms a loop on the topographic feature for which it is named, Round Hill. A grassy landscape with fewer trees characterizes the southern end, offering panoramic views to the west.

The trail offers very limited camping options; however, a couple of small pullouts have been previously used for overnight stays.
