About this trail

Idleglenn By-Pass is a short out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the town of Colorado, within White River National Forest's Aspen-Sopris Ranger District. This brief trail covers just 0.3 miles with minimal elevation gain of only 11 feet, making it an ideal option for hikers seeking a quick, easy walk without significant climbing. The trail's short distance and flat terrain make it accessible for families with young children, casual walkers, or those looking to supplement a longer hiking itinerary with a gentle stroll. As part of the White River National Forest system, the trail provides access to the area's natural surroundings while being managed to maintain trail conditions and safety standards. Given its modest length and elevation profile, this by-pass trail is best suited as a short break hike rather than a primary destination. Its inclusion within the Aspen-Sopris Ranger District places it in Colorado's central mountain region, known for its scenic forest and mountain landscapes.
