Little Cimarron East is a 3.0-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the town of Colorado. The trail is managed by the Yampa Ranger District of Routt National Forest. This out-and-back route offers hikers a straightforward option for exploring the northern Colorado landscape within national forest boundaries. The trail's 3-mile distance makes it accessible for a range of ability levels, providing a moderate half-day outing. The Yampa Ranger District manages extensive recreational opportunities across this region, and Little Cimarron East serves as one of the established hiking options in the area. The trail's proximity to the town of Colorado makes it convenient for both local hikers and visitors exploring the Routt National Forest. The national forest setting provides typical Rocky Mountain scenery and vegetation found throughout northwestern Colorado.
