Hero: Schneider Cow Camp
small-aa Icon
Schneider Cow Camp, also known as Schneider Camp 4WD Trail, is a scenic and easy trail in the Eldorado National Forest. This easy dirt road passes multiple forest campsites, sits under the Little Round Top Mountain range, and overlooks Caples Lake to the south. Wheelers in lifted 4x4s will find this a necessary connector to or from Strawberry Pass. At the same time, first-time off-roaders can enjoy this as a mellow out and back trail starting from Caples Lake and ending near the open mountain meadow at Schneider's Camp, at the north end.
