Mount Bierstadt Trail Details
Venture deep into the heart of the 14ers while you trek along this scenic 7.1-mile trail inside the Mount Evans Wilderness Area. The climb to the top of Mount Bierstadt will require varying levels of exertion as you switch between flat, open trails and sharp, rocky inclines. And once you reach the top, you will have dramatic views of the Rocky Mountains Front Range as well as Grays and Torreys Peak. Keep in mind that the high altitude can be a deterring factor for those who have not fully acclimated to the area. It is also crucial to bring the right equipment (snowshoes, trekking poles, microspikes) since the trail can be icy and snowy earlier in the season.
