| Did it counterclockwise from the East trailhead. Fantastic views. Got rained on for the last hour or so of it - fortunately it waited until we were in the car before the bottom dropped out. | |

| dakotaconcrete | Great Place, Great Sights | |
| This is an immensely worthwhile 'run of the mill' hike with super views of the Grand Mesa. The actual crest is a fun and easy stroll...but beware, being caught on the crest during a storm could prove unforgettably bad! | |

| Phenomenal hike. Glad I found this one. Did the loop from east to west after doing nearby Leon and 10855. This is a classic that can be enjoyed by even the casual hiker. | |

| Beautiful morning on the Grand Mesa. Just beat the afternoon thunderboomers. Lots of "skeeters" to keep me company. This hike was all that was advertised. Good alpine hike for a SoCal boy! | |

| Crag Crest has been a favorite hike of ours each year for about 7 years - when we spend the July 4th holiday with friends on Grand Mesa. We hiked it this year on July 2 (2005) and it certainly was an adventure. The Mesa had a ton of snow over the winter and there was still quite a bit on the summit and down in the Lower Loop - 10 to 15 foot drifts in places on the summit. We got an early start so it wasn't too bad. Always a fun hike - I think we were one of the first groups of the summer to reach the summit this year. I'll post pictures. | ||

| This was a regular hike for us when we lived just down the road in Cedaredge, CO. Sometimes we started from the east, sometimes from the west, but always on the high trail...never did it as a loop hike. Also never did it in winter, mostly in the fall. As already mentioned, there are grand panoramic views from all along the Crag Crest Trail, both to the south and the north. | |
