Trail Ridge from Grand Lake

The Trail rises 37.8km through alpine terrain above the treeline, gaining 1,188m to 3,714m. The average gradient of 3.1% disguises ramps of 6.8% — the kind of gradient that turns plans into prayers. The 6 hairpin turns break up the climb, each one revealing a new perspective on the road ahead. The summit at 3,714m sits above the treeline, where the air thins and the views extend to distant peaks. Located in Colorado, United-states.
