Hike Minnie Gulch
Minnie Gulch out and back. Expect great scenery and views, some late gentians, mostly good trail, marmots? and few people. TH is about 45 minutes NE of Silverton. Hiking route, all above tree line, gains 1200 ft in the first 1¾ miles to reach the Cont. Divide and Colorado Trailsthis part will be at a very moderate pace. The next mile or so is on the more gradual CDT/CT, before we take an easier ridge trail with expansive, varied vistas. We will aim for lunch at a view-spot on the ridge just above the trail.
