Limber Grove

Limber Grove is a moderate out-and-back hike of about 3.1 miles on the Forest Service trail network in the South Park Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests in Colorado. The trail climbs from about 10,561 feet to about 10,918 feet, with an elevation gain of 192 feet one way, and it is open year-round. The trailhead, also called Limber Grove Trailhead, sits close to Fourmile Campground, which lies just 0.1 mile away. The route is natural-surfaced and allows both horses and bikes, so riders and pack animals can join the walk. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 71°F and lows near 42°F, while winter highs stay around 31°F. That station sits roughly 900 feet below the trail's high point, so temperatures on the route run somewhat cooler. Horseshoe Campground is about a mile away, and the Ore Wagon hike starts about 1.7 miles off. Farther out, the Tie Hack cross-country ski trail is about 2.8 miles away, and the Finback Crags climbing area is about 4.9 miles away.
