Hefley Saddle
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Hefley Saddle is a 5.0-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the San Juan National Forest's Columbine Ranger District (West). The route features 330 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderate hike suitable for a range of fitness levels. Managed by the San Juan National Forest, this trail offers access to the mountain terrain characteristic of southwestern Colorado's high country. The out-and-back format allows hikers to turn around at the saddle, providing flexibility for those wanting to adjust their total distance. The relatively modest elevation gain combined with the five-mile round-trip distance makes Hefley Saddle an accessible option for hikers seeking a half-day adventure without extreme technical difficulty. The trail provides an opportunity to experience the landscape and ecology of the San Juan Mountains while remaining within the manageable range for most hikers.
