Sharptail Trail - 8.3 miles, 882 elevation gain

This area is a regionally significant movement-corridor for wildlife – so good for viewing elk, deer, wild cats, and ground-nesting birds.  It is a meadow hike, fully exposed to sun so keep that in mind when scheduling a trip.  Bikes and dogs are not allowed.  Because it is an SWA, every hiker must have a state hunting or fishing license, or an SWA Pass

The fall hunting season varies year-to-year so call the State Hunt Line at 303-297-1192 to confirm closure dates.
