About Laplata (North) Trailhead
The trail crosses private land, heading east to a steel truss bridge over the South Fork. Follow the trail across La Plata gulch for two miles to treeline. One route is defined from treelined to the summit by rock cairns or recent trail work that delineates the standard route. The area is scarred by the myriad of braided trails. Please help prevent further erosion by staying on the cairned route for both the ascent and descent. Older routes are being closed for restoration.
