Crosier Mountain
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Crosier Mountain is a 16-mile out-and-back trail in Colorado offering 3,018 feet of elevation gain. This backcountry route provides a substantial day hike or backpacking option for those seeking a moderately challenging alpine experience. The trail traverses wilderness terrain managed by the designated agency, taking hikers through varied landscape typical of Colorado's high country. The cumulative elevation gain reflects a steady climb throughout the route, with the out-and-back format allowing hikers to turn around at the summit or their preferred turnaround point. Hikers should prepare for a full day of trekking with proper conditioning for the elevation gain. Weather conditions in Colorado's mountains can change rapidly, so preparedness for variable conditions is essential. The remote wilderness setting means limited water sources and facilities along the route, requiring self-sufficiency and proper planning. This trail suits experienced hikers comfortable with distance and elevation gain. The out-and-back structure makes it accessible for those wanting to adjust their distance based on fitness level and conditions encountered on the day of travel.
