One of our favorite hikes in Nederland (about 20 mins away). Trailhead parking can get busy on the weekends but you can take the park and ride from nederland - across from the library.
Absolutely stunning in July - wildflowers, waterfalls and awesome mountain views. Best to have a 4-wheel drive as the final few miles to the trail is dirt with many potholes.
Open only during summer months, drive past the overcrowded Hessie Trailhead several miles further into the Indian Peaks Wilderness to hike to the historic 4th of July Mine and Arapahoe Pass (This trail has been my personal favorite since my childhood!). There's also a spur to magical Diamond Lake, or the challenging ascent and rock scramble to 13ers North and South Arapahoe Peaks. While Hessie Trailhead is overcrowded and has a shuttle during the summer months, this trailhead is also extremely popular and doesn't get the shuttle service. Parking fills up quickly, plan on arriving early. You won't regret getting an early start for these more challenging hikes, anyway :) Call the local forest service office to inquire on exact road opening/closure dates. I recommend checking Alltrails.com or Hikingproject.com to familiarize yourself with current trail difficulty and conditions.
