Rating: Difficult
Elevation 8,600 feet
From the north side the trail is fairly flat and winds through meadows for the first mile until it crosses FDR 509 an old logging road. At this point the heavily wooded single track trail climbs steeply up the north side of Hahn's peak, this mile section is very rough and rocky. Once you reach FDR 413 & 414 the trail is a gradual down hill through open meadows and aspens.
This trail is a National Historic Trail. Built in 1888 by John Ellis, a local cattleman, to supply beef to lumbermen in the Hog Park area and bring back ties to the Hahns Peak area. Please read posted travel regulations...part of this trail is non-motorized.
