  • Mileage: 6.6 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,760 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 6,700 ft

This is an out and back hike, with most of the elevation gain occurring during the the first half of the hike.

We will meet at the Devil's Kitchen trailhead Parking lot located near the East Entrance of the Colorado National Monument at 9:00 am.

I expect the hike take about 4 hours to complete.
