WONDERFUL day hike on the Blue Ridge trail. HEAVY elevation gain and lots of uphill for about 2 miles but you are rewarded with beautiful views. From the trailhead, follow the snow mobile road about 0.4 miles to divert right towards the Blue Ridge Trail. When you get up to the split between Blue Ridge and Wolverine - it's worth an extra 10 minutes to dash up the top of Wolverine for 360 views of Grand Lake and the Never Summer mountains. BEAUTIFUL hike.

It was worth the drive up to the trailhead. However, we hadn’t realized that in that area had been a huge forest fire about 2 yrs ago, so every tree is burned for as far as you can see. However, the wild flowers were blooming and were beautiful. We went in July 2022. It gave me a whole new appreciation to actually be able to see the expanse of the damage even years after the fire. We drove up to the trail head, but decided to hike another train due to everything was burned. Dangerous with all those burned trees & figure md that although it was still beautiful, the whole trail would likely only be more of the same.

Tried getting up here in late November with a hyundai elantra, and we were able to get within 0.5 miles of the trailhead, then we walked the rest. Probably would have been less exciting if I had a 4x4 SUV.

Stunning views along this trail, definitely not for the light of heart and is probably at least moderate difficulty, cool during the hot summer at the top of the mountain, still some snow, even in early August, had a great time.

Bowen baker trail is a beautiful secluded hike! But what ever you do do not get stuck up there during a rainstorm!
Casual retreat with cabins & simple rooms, plus horseback rides, playgrounds & sports facilities.
