Where can I go winter hiking in Colorado?
Colorado is a state known for its absolutely breathtaking landscapes, mountain ranges, rolling green hills, and so much more. It’s a wonderful place to go hiking no matter what time of year it is; each season has its own pros and cons. So where, then, are some great places for winter hiking in Colorado? Well, you’ll definitely want to check out some of the most amazing winter landscapes Colorado has to offer on the Emerald Lake Trail at Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s an easy, three-and-a-half-mile hike to one of the most incredibly beautiful lakes in North America (bring a camera). If you should find yourself near Idaho Springs, we recommend a brisk winter trek on St. Mary’s Glacier, another easy two-and-a-half-mile hike that leads to an amazing natural glacier and lake. Need a bit more of a challenge? Try the epic Quandary Peak in Breckenridge; a 6.75-mile trek through some brutal winter landscape just to conquer one of Colorado’s “easiest” fourteeners. Well, we’ll see about “easy,” anyway. Interested in more winter hikes in Colorado? Check this article out!
