    Elevations:
  • Beginning Elevation: 9,000'
  • Peak Elevation: 11,350'

Trailhead Location: Travel 11 miles northwest of Fort Collins on U.S. Highway 287 and Colorado Highway 14. Turn left on CO 14, travel 26 miles, and turn left on County Road 63E, the Pingree Park Road. Travel 6 miles to Jack's Gulch Campground. During season when the gates are open, the road through the campground and the 3.5 rough miles beyond will lead to the Flowers Trailhead.
