Stanley Mountain

Trip

Hiking – Stanley Mountain

Come join the Trailblazers to get above treeline and climb along a broad ridge to Stanley Mountain (12521'), from right off of Berthoud Pass.

  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 7.5 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,856 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 12,521 ft
  • Pace: 2.0-2.5 mph

This trip follows the AllTrails route at https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/stanley-mountain-trail.  We'll be on trail on a long, broad ridge above treeline for most of the hike, so we'll need to keep an eye on weather conditions.

I expect there will be little snow left on the trail by the day of the hike, and mostly will be below treeline. 

For those who are interested, we'll find a social stop after the hike.  Location TBD - I am open to suggestions!

We'll meet bright and early for a carpool at the Wooly Mammoth Park N Ride just off of I-70 Exit 259 (Morrison/Golden), Section BB (across from the Exxon gas station).  If you'd like to carpool, get there a few minutes before 6:30 AM, and we'll depart at 6:30 AM.

If you'd like to meet at the trailhead, be at Berthoud Pass Parking Lot at 7:30 AM.
