Tank Seven
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
Tank Seven is a 3.0-mile out-and-back trail located in the Ouray Ranger District of Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forest in Colorado. The route features 1,154 feet of elevation gain, making it a moderately challenging day hike. This trail is managed by the GMUG National Forest's Ouray Ranger District, which maintains a network of trails throughout the San Juan Mountains region. The out-and-back format means hikers will retrace their route on the return trip, allowing for flexible turn-around points if desired. The elevation gain is distributed across the 1.5-mile approach to the turnaround point, providing a steady ascent through varied terrain typical of the Uncompahgre Plateau area. The trail offers access to high-country views and alpine environments characteristic of this section of the national forest. Tank Seven is suitable for hikers seeking a moderate workout in a relatively compact distance, making it accessible for those with limited time or experience seeking Colorado mountain hiking without requiring a full day commitment.
