    About

    The Matchett 3 Mile hike is a moderate 3.04-mile trail with an elevation gain of 1449 feet, suitable for hikers looking for a relatively short yet challenging outing. The trail conditions vary by season, but it is generally accessible from January through December, with parking available at the trailhead.

As with many trails in the Grand Junction area, spring and fall are likely the most pleasant seasons to visit, with milder temperatures and potentially fewer crowds.
