About this place
The trail takes off from the end of the road and climbs toward the Continental Divide. Little Cochetopa creek parallels the trail. Fishing, for brook trout, is especially good in the beaver ponds. This trail is a favorite for a leisurely day of fishing. The trail intersects with the Colorado Trail about .5 miles past Chipeta Mountain. Hikers can travel south via the Colorado Trail/Continental Divide trail to the summit of Marshall Pass. From Poncha Springs travel west on US Highway 50 for 2 miles. Turn left off the highway onto County Road 210. Stay on CR 210 for 7.25 miles. The last 3.25 miles are rough and require 4-wheel drive.
