CHIEF MOUNTAIN

Squaw Pass Road
(Near Echo Mountain Ski Area)
 
Round Trip Distance: 2.9 miles
Summit Elevation: 11,709 ft
 
 

 
I've done this hike a couple of times now and just love it!  It is a lot of bang for the buck....!!!The distance is reasonable, and with nice long switch backs, you don't get tooooo winded!!  (Ok, its Colorado I still get winded walking up my stairs!)  But I think you get the idea!  And the views from the top are just AMAZING!!!  It is a great one for visitors and kiddos!



The trail was pretty dried out when we did it.  Certainly, a few spots with some snow, but no need for a flotation device!  


 
 The views from the top are just amazing!!  You have a great view of Mount Evans and Bierstadt, as well as Denver.
 
Yet another beautiful day in Colorado!  Sooooo glad to be here!!!
