Smoky Canyon is the gateway between the historic Leadville Road and the iconic High Rock Canyon. This rugged trail beckons adventurers to journey through untamed terrain, where nature's raw beauty awaits. The first 11 miles of the trail are relatively smooth, while the last 3 miles can be rougher due to washouts and gullies caused by the previous winter. These rough sections challenge your trek but tend to smooth out as the trail is used more from spring to fall. A high-clearance vehicle is recommended. At the trailhead of Little High Rock Canyon, a potential campsite offers a haven for those eager to immerse themselves fully in the wilderness.
