Liberty Cap Trail

There are three trails that will lead to the Liberty Cap formation, this is the longest at ~5.75 miles out and back that leaves from the Upper Liberty Cap Trailhead. The trail winds across gently sloping Monument Mesa through pinyon-juniper forest and sagebrush flats for the first 5 miles (the first 5 miles is the only stretch of this trail where horses are allowed). From there is begins to climb up to the Liberty Cap. Generally not a crowded trail.
