Fourth of July Trailhead
Fourth of July Trailhead provides access to Arapaho Pass, Diamond Lake, and Arapaho Glacier Trails inside the Indian Peaks Wilderness.
Indian Peaks Wilderness requires organized groups like CMC to have a permit for both camping and day-hiking, year round. Camping permits are required for all overnight trips between June 1 and September 15. Obtain permits at resevations.gov.
This trailhead is accessed by five miles of rough, two-wheel-drive road. It is exceedingly popular, and parking is limited, especially on summer weekends. Fourth of July Road is closed in the winter from the western side of Eldora to the end of the road.
