Featured Local Savings

After the hike, enjoy a beer and a gourmet brat at Lake City Brewing Co.

Trip log: 7 miles round trip (out and back, 15 miles if starting from the 2WD road), 3,000 feet elevation gain, 14,309 feet max

Difficulty: Difficult

Getting there: From Colorado 115, turn right onto U.S. 50 west in Penrose. Just past Gunnison, turn onto Colorado 149 south toward Powderhorn. Turn right onto Second Street in Lake City, then left onto Henson Creek Road. Drive 5 miles to the sign for Nellie Creek Trail, Forest Service Road 877. If you don’t have a high-clearance, four-wheel drive vehicle, park on Henson Creek Road and hike from there. The trailhead is 4 miles up Nellie Creek Road.

FYI: Hiking only. Dogs must be on a leash and might need to be carried up the final section of scrambling.
