Daisy Pass 404 Trail is a 10-mile out-and-back hike located in Colorado on federally managed land. The route features 2,218 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately challenging day hike suitable for hikers with solid fitness levels. The trail ascends gradually to Daisy Pass, with the cumulative elevation gain distributed across the full distance to the trailhead turnaround point. The out-and-back format means hikers will experience the same terrain on the return descent, allowing for consistent pacing and predictable conditions. Being situated on federal land, the trail is part of the public outdoor recreation system and is maintained by the managing federal agency. This trail appeals to hikers seeking a full-day adventure with significant elevation change in Colorado's varied terrain. Hikers should prepare for 10 miles of walking with proper footwear and hydration, as the 2,218-foot elevation gain will demand sustained effort, particularly on the ascent. Check local conditions and agency updates before heading out, as mountain weather and trail conditions can change seasonally.
