Medicine Bow-Routt NF — Parks RD

Indian Point is a 21.5-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near Colorado, managed by Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest Parks Ranger District. This backcountry route offers hikers an extended journey through forest service land in northern Colorado. The trail's substantial distance makes it suitable for experienced hikers planning a full day or overnight trip. The out-and-back format means you'll retrace your route on the return, allowing you to experience the landscape from both directions. The terrain winds through the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, one of Colorado's largest publicly managed forest areas. This remote trail provides solitude and access to undeveloped forest scenery. Given the trail's length, hikers should plan accordingly with adequate water, food, and gear. The managing ranger district can provide current conditions and any seasonal restrictions. Indian Point is best suited for well-prepared hikers comfortable with backcountry navigation and self-sufficiency. Check with Parks Ranger District before heading out for updated trail conditions and any closures.
