Marvine is a hard hike in the Flat Tops Wilderness, part of the Blanco Ranger District of White River National Forest in Colorado. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is an out-and-back of about 21.7 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of 3,072 feet. The trail starts at about 8,153 feet and climbs to roughly 10,966 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows horses, but bikes are not permitted. That makes it a good fit for riders on horseback or on foot, and the wilderness setting adds to the sense of a remote, rugged journey. Several other destinations sit close by. Muskrat Lakes is about half a mile away, and West Marvine is about 0.8 miles off. Marvine Campground and East Marvine Campground are both within about a mile and a half, so there is camping close to the trail.
