Today, this quaint town at the headwaters of the Arkansas River is a bustling gateway to some of Colorado’s sweetest high peaks. Mount Elbert climbers typically ply the 5.5-mile (one-way) Black Cloud Trail, which passes through a gorgeous stand of aspens before turning northeast onto the peak’s expansive flank.
