Ascending Hikes - Seasonal Fitness – Niwot Mountain Loop Route

This classic, Niwot Mountain custom loop (11.3 miles, +-2,179 ft.) hits the best of the Indian Peaks subalpine forests before climbing into the raw alpine tundra of the high country to visit the summit of Niwot Mountain (11,471 ft.). It avoids the tough parking logistics of the inner trailheads by utilizing the winter lot, making it an excellent option for an immersive day in the backcountry of Colorado.
