Tested a new trail today. I think the view was worth it don’t you? I drove just out of Woodland Park on Highway 24 to Edlowe Road and followed it approximately 3 plus miles to the Catamount Institute Trailhead Parking. I ran slogged the trail 2 miles to where Vayhinger splits off from the Elder-Fehn trail. Followed Vayhinger for a mile where it meets up with the Ring the Peaks Trail at the North Catamount Recreation area. Then followed the road for about 3/4 mile where on the left you hook up with the Timber Pine Trail (also part of the Ring The Peaks trails) which then takes you back to Elder-Fehn/Vayhinger almost to the parking area. Sounds complicated, but is is so well signed and I love loops. It is a lot of up and down, and this loop is about 6 miles. But for those of you training for the Peak, it is 9,900 plus
feet at the highest point. Worth the drive to check it out!
So purty Danster! How fun!
Loved this trail. Thanks for posting it here with such good directions. Megan and I ran this AM. Awesome trail!
