Crag Crest National Recreation Trail Loop
The Grand Mesa Visitor Center is on top of the Grand Mesa just east of the Colorado Highway 65 on Trickle Park Road, across from Cobbett Lake. It is open between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM daily during the summer. The Crag Crest Trail was designated a National Recreation Trail in 1978. It is a loop consisting of a crest portion and a lower segment and can be accessed from two trailheads, one on the west end across from Island Lake and one on the east end adjacent to Eggleston Lake. A car shuttle is an option if you want to forgo the loop.
