    About

    The Silver Queen Road is a gentle, easy hike that spans 4.40 miles, offering a relatively flat route with minimal elevation gain, given its already high starting point of 11,459 feet. Hikers can expect a scenic walk on a well-maintained road, suitable for those looking for a leisurely stroll or a family-friendly outing. The trail is accessible year-round, from January through December, and parking is available at the trailhead. As with any high-altitude hike, visitors should be prepared for potential snow and ice during winter months and take necessary precautions.
