Location Information
Segment 5 of the Colorado Trail stretches 14 miles from Long Gulch Trailhead to Kenosha Pass. Beginning at Long Gulch Trailhead the trail leads into the Lost Creek Wilderness. (Bikers should access this segment of the trail from Rock Creek Trailhead on Rock Creek Road (133) to avoid entering the wilderness.) The trail crosses the head of the Black Canyon drainage and then slowly descends to and crosses Rock Creek. From there the trail crosses Johnson Gulch and begins to ascend. It reaches a high point of 10,400' before descending again into Kenosha Pass.
