Considered one of the top five most difficult trails in the state of Colorado, Buffalo Mountain Trail is suitable for the more experienced hiker. The trail has some moderate traffic, especially between April and September, and has a distance of about 5.3 miles to get out and back. Though it could very steep and tough, the views you’ll see from the very top will surely be worth it. Solid hikers may take approximately five to six hours to get out and back, though it could very well be longer for moderate hikers. Keep in mind that you may have to climb several rough boulders before eventually reaching Buffalo Mountain’s summit.
