Colorado Trip: Buchanan Pass

 From June 2021

 

Julia's knees were aching after the hike down from Two Sisters, so the next day we chose a more moderate hike.  We drove south from Olive Ridge campground to Camp Dick via Hwy 7 and Hwy 72.  One end of the Buchanan Pass Trailhead is in Camp Dick's parking lot.  Camp Dick is another forest service campground with limited first come, first serve.  We warmed up with a walk around the campground loop.  We did not see any vacant sites.

Buchanan Pass is a 7.9 mile in and out trail with only 941 feet of elevation gain.  The trail follows Middle St. Vrain Creek and is dog-friendly.
