Crest Trail

The Crest Trail is a segment of the Continental Divide Trail (and the Colorado Trail) that runs from Monarch Pass to Marshall Pass. It's one of the most scenic trails in the Sargents area, rivaled only by Fossil Ridge Trail.

Local bicyclists are usually the first to ride the trail in the spring because they can haul their bikes over the snow drifts.

And, they're the only ones crazy enough to do it ;-)


Did you bring chains?
