Sneffels Highline #434

The Sneffels Highline Trail #434 begins at an intersection with the Jud Wiebe Trail #432 and ends at an intersection with the Deep Creek Trail #418. This trail offers a classic alpine loop that travels high into Pack Basin where there are spectacular views of surrounding peaks including Mount Emma, rising 12,581 feet, Gilpin Peak, rising 13,694 feet, Dallas Peak, rising 13,809 feet, and Greenback Mountain, rising 12,997 feet. The trail crosses through a portion of the Mount Sneffels Wilderness, where wilderness regulation apply. A combination of the Jud Wiebe Trail #432, the Sneffels Highline Trail #434, and the Deep Creek Trail #418 will complete about a 10.5 mile loop. When planning for a summer hike on this trail, be sure to get an early start to avoid afternoon thunderstorms.
