Summary: The hike starts at the Drake Trailhead on Cr 43, aproximately 1 mile west of Drake. The trail goes thru a meadow and enters a large stand of mature Ponderosa Pines and Firs. Although the terrain looks imposing, the trail has several switchbacks and climbs gradually. You enter the meadow after a hike of about a mile and a half (1.5 mi.) The meadow is a good place for a picnic. If you wish you can go to the summit of Crosier Mtn. Which is a hard hike over 5 mi. one way. But the views of Estes Park and Longs Peak makes the effort worthwhile. Trailhead: Trail is located on CR 43 about 2 miles West of Drake (Lat:40.44222 Lon:-105.37818) Trail Guides for Drake: Best Seasons: Year-Round User Groups: Hikers, Dogs, Bikes, Horses, Ranger Contact: Canyon Lakes Ranger District - 1311 S.
