Hell’s Hole Trail, West Chicago Creek, Mt. Evans Wilderness

Today we hiked the Hell’s Hole Trail to the large cirque about 4 miles up the trail. This is the perfect time of year for this trail, the fall colors are near their peak in this area.

This trail is easy to find, just go from Idaho Springs toward Mt. Evans and turn right when you see the sign for West Chicago Creek campground. follow the road as it becomes rougher and rougher until it ends at the trailhead, just after the campground.

The road needs some serious maintenance but most 2wd vehicles can still make it.
