About this trail

Chilton is a 2.8-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near Colorado, managed by the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest's Boulder Ranger District. This moderately accessible route offers hikers an opportunity to explore the northern Front Range landscape without committing to a full-day expedition. The out-and-back format means you'll retrace your steps after reaching the turnaround point, making it easy to control your hiking distance. The trail is suitable for a range of skill levels, though specific terrain details and elevation gain information are not available. Being situated within the Arapaho-Roosevelt National Forest, the area is typical of Colorado's subalpine environment, though conditions vary seasonally. The proximity to the Boulder area makes this a convenient option for Front Range hikers seeking a quick getaway. For the most current trail conditions, closures, or specific route information, contact the Boulder Ranger District directly. Spring and summer typically offer the best hiking conditions in this region, though weather can change rapidly at elevation.
