Chuck Wagon Trail Description
Chuck Wagon Trail is a beautiful hike that can be enjoyed on its own or used as part of a longer loop. This route passes the Grassy Knolls and Capitol Butte, and it has a view of Maroon Mountain, Little Round Mountain, and Round Top Mountain.
The navigation in this area can be a challenge if you’re unfamiliar. While the signage is average, the trails can be somewhat easy to lose. Bring a GPS track or map if you’re wanting a bit of help staying on the route.
From the trailhead, take Chuck Wagon Trail. There are two main trails that leave from this trailhead, so don’t get onto Dry Creek Road by accident. You’ll hike between Dry Creek and Dry Creek Road, so if you find you’ve ventured across either, you’ll need to backtrack. The route ends where the trail splits into Dry Creek Road and Brins Mesa Trail. From here, turn back and retrace your steps.
