Santana is a hard hike in Colorado's Greenhorn Mountain Wilderness, part of the San Carlos Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests. The trail is an out-and-back that climbs from about 8,690 feet to 11,488 feet, a total gain of 535 feet over a distance of about 8.7 miles. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is natural-surfaced and open year-round. The climb is a steady one, and the trail is rated hard. Horses are allowed, so riders can take the route on foot or on horseback. The hike sits in the heart of the wilderness, and several other trails lie close by. Bartlett is less than a mile away, and South Apache and Apache Falls are each about 1.9 miles off. For an overnight stay, Camp Joseph is roughly 3.9 miles away.
