About this trail

W. Monument Creek is a 27.2-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near Colorado, managed by the San Juan National Forest's Divide Ranger District. The route features a modest elevation gain of 402 feet, making it accessible for hikers of varying experience levels despite its significant distance. This out-and-back format allows hikers to choose their own turnaround point, making it flexible for different fitness levels and time constraints. The trail's low elevation gain relative to its length suggests a relatively gentle gradient, ideal for those seeking an extended hiking experience without extreme elevation challenges. The trail falls under the management of the San Juan National Forest, part of the larger public lands system that provides access to Colorado's diverse mountain terrain. Hikers using this trail should come prepared for the full distance if planning to complete the entire route, or select a reasonable turnaround point for a shorter outing.
