Estes Canyon-Bull Pasture Trail

 

The Estes Canyon Trail follows washes up the canyon for 2.25 miles where it climbs steeply to meet the Bull Pasture Trail that takes a shorter route up to the saddle from the parking lot.  From this junction, it is another 3/4 mile to the top via a narrow trail that switchbacks up the rockface to a viewpoint.  This part of the trail is not for people with vertigo.  Total elevation gain: 800 feet.
