Antones is a moderate out-and-back hike of about 5.4 miles in the Eagle Ranger District of Colorado's White River National Forest, managed by the Forest Service. The trail gains about 950 feet in elevation, from a low point of roughly 9,000 feet to a high of about 10,000 feet, and it is open year-round. The trail is a natural-surface route that allows horses but not bikes. The Antones Trailhead is the parking point for the trip. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station at a similar elevation records typical July highs around 73°F with lows near 39°F, while winter months typically see highs around 31°F. The West Brush Creek Trail and Sylvan Lake Trail both lie within a mile of the route. Sneve Gulch offers lake fishing about a mile away, and Yeoman Park Campground sits about 4 miles off for an overnight stay.
