Gray’s and Torrey’s Peaks

This is a popular combination that allows you to summit both Grays and Torrey’s Peak on the same hike. Although most often completed by starting with Grays and then going over to Torrey’s, you can do them in either order. Whichever mountain you summit first, there is a well defined trail down tot he saddle and up the other peak.

Class: 1. The Grays and Torrey’s Peak Trails are considered class 1, as it is a well defined and built trail from the parking lot to the summit.

Trailhead/Parking: The trailhead is open seasonally (conditions dependent) so contact the forest service for current conditions. Also note, parking along the road is illegal and enforced, if the upper parking lot is full you must start from the lot at I-70. If starting from the parking lot at I-70, it adds 3 miles each way to the hike. The road can also be rough in places and is not suitable for all vehicles.

Note: The trail does pass below known avalanche terrain, so be aware and check Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) forecasts when there is much snow present
