Sharkstooth Trail and Centennial Peak

Besides having a name kids like, the Sharkstooth Trail leads them to destinations all hikers enjoy: flower-filled forest jeweled by streams, a signed loop trail around a mining claim, a spectacular saddle for resting and lunching, and finally, a relatively easy 13,000-foot peak to climb. As with all high-altitude hikes, plan this one to start early in the day, and allow 4 to 5 hours to complete the peak climb and return to the trailhead.
