High Point

The High Point on the Colorado Trail is 10 miles from the Colorado Trail trailhead, it doesn’t not have a sign but is a local’s favorite hang out.

THere’s a log where many stop for a snack and a view before either making their way all the way up to Junction Creek Road (Champion Venture), the top of Segment 28 or turn around and head back down The lower Colorado Trail is quite busy, we recommend mountain bikers exit the CT at the upper CT parking lot, located approximately.
