Fremont Peak makes up a sizeable section of the northeast rim of the Royal Gorge and is one of the most prominent peaks in a subrange of mountains called the Gorge Hills. Access to the Canyon Rim Trailhead is by a well maintained paved county road with free parking available in a small picnic area with a vault toilet prior to the entrance of the Royal Gorge Bridge and across the road from the trailhead. The well maintained trails to the peak are part of the Royal Gorge Park Trail System. The hike can be extended by adding additional trails including connecting to the Fremont County trail system.
