About

The Uncompahgre National Forest offers moderate fall hiking trails, suitable for those with some experience, from September through November. Hikers can expect to spend around 2 hours on the trails, which feature a mix of terrain and scenic views of the surrounding mountains and forests. The forest's trails can be rocky and steep in some areas, with changing leaf colors and potential snowfall at higher elevations during the later part of the season. Parking and restrooms are available, and pets are permitted, making it a convenient and accessible destination for a day hike.
