Weekend Wanderer: A-Hill

Its supposed to be a lovely weekend in Norther Colorado so take the quick hike up the A-Hill for some amazing views!

A-Hill Trail: Fort Collins, CO:

You can start at one of two trail heads.  Either the Maxwell Parking area, just past Hughes Stadium.  Or you can start at the trail head off of Banyan and Prospect, just west of Overland Trail.

No matter your starting location, you will head out up and over a few small hills before you start to really climb.  One the climb starts, the trail does some long switchbacks across the hill, making the climb less steep.

Keep in mind, this is a multi-use trail!

Once you reach the top, take in the amazing views of Fort Collins and beyond.

Don't miss the opportunity to cross the road and take a look a Horsetooth!

Always check the natural areas website for trail conditions and closers before heading out.

Trail Rating: Moderate
