Lake Como

A difficult hike with the option to attempt Little Bear Peak, Ellingwood Point, and Blanca Peak. This is one of the most difficult four-wheel-drive roads in Colorado. Only experienced drivers with appropriately equipped vehicles should attempt to drive the entire road to Lake Como. It is recommended that you park early and hike a little farther to save your vehicle excessive wear and tear.
