Pike-San Isabel NF — South Park RD

The Crosscut Trail is a short 1.3-mile out-and-back hike located in Colorado near the town of Colorado. Managed by the Pike-San Isabel National Forest South Park Ranger District, this trail offers an accessible option for hikers seeking a brief outing in the area. Being an out-and-back route, hikers will follow the same path on the return journey, making navigation straightforward. The trail's modest length makes it suitable for those with limited time or younger hikers looking to build experience on Colorado trails. For current conditions, trail maintenance updates, and any seasonal closures, contact the South Park Ranger District directly. As with all national forest trails, be prepared with adequate water and weather-appropriate gear. Check local conditions before heading out, as mountain weather can change rapidly and trail accessibility may vary by season.
