Park at capitol lake trailhead unless you have a very high clearance vehicle. It is possible to drive up to hell roaring trailhead, but tough terrain. Steep sections on and off throughout the hike. Gorgeous stands of aspen and conifer forests. Normally a couple of spectacular view points, but this day was socked in with smoke from wildfires.

Unbelievably amazing wildflowers and views on this hike. We took our dogs and they had This hike is an absolute blast! Flowers are amazing and diverse. Do bring water shoes as there was one crossing where we had to walk through the water. Might also want to pack a small towel to dry off your feet. Towards the end of the trail there is a very cool, old, abandoned mining station with some rusted equipment. Would hike again!
