Deer Mountain Trail
The Continental Divide and Longs Peak are the magnificent backdrop for this trail when you fix your gaze on the southwest horizon. To the northwest is the Mummy Range with the soaring massif of Chapin, Chiquita, and Ypsilon mountains. Best of all, the views are immediate. Wander only 100 yards from the trailhead to enjoy the spectacle, making this ideal for flatland visitors and for families with young children looking for short excursions. Hiking all the way to the top is a nice moderate climb for more ambitious hikers.
