Glen Cove

Glen Cove is an abandoned ski area located in Colorado's high country, now serving primarily as a backcountry access point and historical ski destination for enthusiasts interested in exploring Colorado's skiing heritage. The area, once a modest regional ski hill, has transitioned into terrain suitable for backcountry skiing and snowshoeing during winter months, offering access to surrounding alpine terrain and ridge lines. Summer visitors can enjoy hiking and trail running on the former ski runs, which have naturally revegetated into alpine meadows with expansive views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The abandoned lift infrastructure and original lodge buildings provide an intriguing glimpse into mid-20th century Colorado ski development, making it a destination for both recreation and historical exploration.
