Description

The trail starts at the Halfmoon Parking area for Mt Elbert. It is a bit of a climb for the first couple of miles, with some loose rock, but with relatively low hike-a-bike.

You'll have plenty of company on this route, with hikers attempting to hike Mt. Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado, and people taking in the sights at Twin Lakes. Twin Lakes has a food truck & general store for supplies.
