Three Points is a hard hike in Colorado's White River National Forest, within the Blanco Ranger District. The route is an out-and-back of about 6.9 miles, with a one-way elevation gain of 933 feet, taking you from a low point of 7,320 feet to a high of 8,093 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural-surfaced and open year-round. The trail is rated hard, and it is open to horses. Bikes are not allowed. For timing, summer is the most comfortable stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Craig run to highs around 78°F in June and 85°F in July, and the station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other routes lie close by. Winslet Cutoff is about half a mile away, and Milk Creek / Horse Ridge is about 1.5 miles off. Konopic Reservoir, a mountain biking area, is about 2.2 miles away, and Wymore Lake is about 3.8 miles away.
