Trail updates for Hiking Colorado III, a Falcon Guide, by Maryann Gaug

Updated trail information will appear on this page until the second edition is printed.

Hike 18: Notch Mountain (view of Mount of the Holy Cross)

Group size limit has been reduced from 25 people to 15 people.

 

Hike 20: Granite Lakes Trail (Hunter-Fryingpan Wilderness area near Basalt)

Group size limit has been reduced from 25 people to 15 people.

 

Hike 25: East Marvine Trail (access to the Flat Tops Wilderness Area near Meeker)

Group size limit has been reduced from 25 people to 15 people.

Hike 31: Rock Pond to Werley Ranch Loop (Mueller State Park and Dome Rock State Wildlife Area)

A few little changes. 1. Rock Pond Trail now ends at a trail called Werley Ranch Trail (instead of Werley Ponds Trail).
2. After leaving Werley Ranch and heading to the right to continue the loop, you are immediately on Cabin Creek Trail. As you walk along, there's a fence to your left. Look for an opening in the fence. You'll see a brown carsonite post with Cabin Creek Trail written on it. The trail turns left here and goes straight across the little dam in front of you. This new trail (doesn't look like a trail) eliminates the loop shown at the bottom of the trail map.

Hike 49: First Fork and Red Creek Loop (east of Durango)

OPEN. These trails were closed in the Missionary Ridge fire in 2002 but have reopened.
