Hiking
At 13,271 feet you reach the official highest point of the Colorado Trail. Neither the ascent nor the descent are particularly steep, so you might think that you didn’t climb up that much. Nevertheless, enjoy the view and celebrate your achievement! If you like, you can hike up to the nearby summit to find a geological marker.

Mountain biking
A small sign on a wooden post marks the High Point of the Colorado Trail. This is an amazing place to pause and catch your breath (if you can at 13,271 feet!), take in the stunning panoramic views, and bask in your amazing accomplishment.
