Runner Notes

There was no water along this portion of trail when we went in August.

Description

This trail connects the Engineer Mountain Trail and the Colorado Trail (CT). The trail follows the side of the mountain around to the Colorado Trail. It has an overall pretty gentle grade and is very doable. You would take this trail if you wanted to do the Coalbank Pass to Molas Pass run or if you wanted to go south on the Colorado Trail.
