About

Link Trail is a 21.5-mile out-and-back route located in Colorado near Colorado, managed by the White River National Forest Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District. This trail offers hikers a substantial day hike or backpacking option through the national forest landscape. The out-and-back format allows hikers to choose their own turnaround point if completing the full distance proves too challenging. With over 21 miles of hiking, this route is best suited for experienced hikers comfortable with longer distances and full days on trail. The trail is maintained by the White River National Forest, which ensures regular upkeep of the pathway. Hikers should plan accordingly for weather conditions typical of the Colorado high country and bring adequate water and supplies for an extended outing. For current conditions, trail closures, and detailed directions, contact the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District directly or visit the White River National Forest website. Given the trail's length, starting early in the day is recommended to allow sufficient daylight for the hike.
