Fun trail as always. Definitely recommend counter clockwise as well. Oh, and lots of pin striping today.

Clear and in good condition. Counterclockwise is definitely the direction to go.

Fun loop that’s slightly more difficult than most of the other trails in the area. This trail is pretty tight with the possibility of pinstriping from branches. 3+ point turns needed for larger vehicles on the switchbacks. There were a few bighorn sheep at the top which complimented the views of the mountain range.

Fun trail with a couple of easy rocky obstacles. Beware of the road edges that can get very soft especially after the rain. At waypoint 5 I went too wide and sinked my rear driver tire while turning right to go up the switchback. Great views at the top!

Getting to be a little more of a challenge as the years go on with this trail. Over winter there appears to have developed some more deeper washouts and more rocks are getting exposed. Keep an eye out for the outside edges as they are spongy and not stable.

Beautiful trail. Ran it counter clockwise. Definitely not a lot of places to pass but we luckily didn't run into anyone. Spectacular views, all through the trail...i'd run this again. Didn't get many pics of the trail just some video but I'll add a photo from the top with my dogs for reference + one headed back down.

Trail is open and dry. Had it to myself which was nice because there are very few places to pull over on this trail. The whole trail is a narrow shelf road and passing spots are usually 100 yards spread apart.

Fun trail with nice views over Buena Vista. All the obstacles are on the east half of the loop. Trail doesnt have many passing spots.

I went up this trail just after daylight and by the time I got to the top the sun had just come out. What a gorgeous view. Highly recommend going up if you are in the area. Very fun trail.

Fun trail with some great views. Running it counter clockwise makes it easier to handle the switchbacks for those who are unsure of their ability on shelf roads. The view from the top was amazing, just can get a little windy. Don't forget to play on flex rock at the top for some good photo ops.

One of the best trails in the area for valley and mountain views! I met a Jeep at the top, and while we were chatting a small group from Texas arrived. They were with the All-4-Fun event (Mile Hi Jeep Club) going on this week.

I led a small group here on both 6/28 and 6/29 as part of the Overland Bound Buena Vista June Jam. We ran counter-clockwise both days so we were uphill in the rocky sections. No real difficulties encountered and no traffic on these days! If you'd like to avoid the rocky switchbacks on the east side, just go up and back down on the west side. That would be a left at the fork on the way up. Excellent views! A great place for lunch on good weather days. After this consider going up nearby Little Cottonwood Creek trail. It makes for a fun ride.

We did the loop in counter clockwise direction based on previous reviews. Road was dry and we encountered no difficulties. I was in a stock full-size Chevy along with a mild Tacoma and a built JKU. We.reached the top about noon along with some soft hail or graupel. Excellent views!

Deep snow covers most of the trail. A few well built UTVs came down and told us they didn't make it very far. We decided not to try it after that.

This was actually a good challenging trail. As mentioned it is narrow and has no passing on the east side of the loop. The switchback at Waypoint 6 has eroded and the rocks are quite a bit more exposed. It did require use of my rear locker. Awesome view at the top of the Collegiate Peaks!

This trail is a lollipop shape with one out and in that loops. We drove the loop counterclockwise to have the advantage of going uphill on the narrow switchbacks. The trail is mostly loose scree, narrow and no passing on the eastern side of the loop. The view at the top is totally worth the drive.
