  • Mileage: 6.2 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,760 ft
  • High Point Elevation: 6,700 ft

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.

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