Hossick is a hard hike in the Weminuche Wilderness, part of the Pagosa Ranger District of the San Juan National Forest in Colorado. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a natural-surface out-and-back that climbs from about 8,500 feet to about 12,350 feet over roughly 12.8 miles. The route is rated hard, and the one-way gain is about 3,800 feet. The trail is open to horses, and the surface is natural. That makes it a viable option for riders as well as hikers. The Weminuche hike lies about 0.7 miles away, and the Cimarrona hike is about 2.1 miles off. Cimarrona Campground and Palisades Campground are both within about 3.2 miles, so either makes a good base for an overnight trip.
