About
The Forest Hollow Trail is a 5.6-mile loop located near Glenwood Springs on the Western Slope of Colorado. The trailhead sits at an elevation of 7,786 feet and offers available parking. Classified as moderate to difficult, the route typically takes between three hours and five hours to complete depending on whether it is hiked as a loop or an out-and-back. The path consists of smooth, tacky singletrack that winds through thick pine forest and fields of wildflowers. It remains accessible year-round, though April through October offers the most reliable conditions for hiking and mountain biking. The trail connects with the Boy Scout Loop, Scout Trail, Bear Creek, and Hubbard Cave Road (FSR #408). Dogs are permitted on the trail.
