This 6-mile trail located near Yampa in the middle of the Flat Tops Wilderness is moderately trafficked and features a narrow, 50-foot long “land bridge.” It narrows to as little as 4 feet and has drops of several hundred feet. Incredible views and fields of wildflowers.

The Spanish Peaks, with Horseshoe Lake in the foreground, can be seen from the top of the William Henry Jackson Trail, a spur from Hogback Trail, in Lathrop State Park. 19th-century photographer William Henry Jackson took his famous 1885 picture of the peaks from this spot.
