About this trail

Graysill is a 4.8-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the Rio Grande National Forest, managed by the Conejos Peak Ranger District. The route gains 1,811 feet of elevation, making it a moderately challenging hike suitable for those with some hiking experience. This trail offers a straightforward there-and-back format, allowing hikers to turn around at any point based on fitness level and time constraints. The steady elevation gain provides a solid cardiovascular workout while ascending through the landscape managed by Rio Grande NF. The trail's proximity to Conejos Peak and management by the Conejos Peak Ranger District suggests access to the broader trail system in this region of southern Colorado. Hikers can expect the typical alpine and subalpine terrain characteristics of the Rio Grande National Forest area. With nearly 1,800 feet of elevation gain compressed into less than 5 miles, expect a moderately steep grade on portions of the trail. This makes Graysill a good half-day hiking option for those looking to gain elevation and enjoy the Colorado backcountry without committing to a full-day expedition.
