The Grouse Mountain trail links the West Grouse Creek Trail #2129 and the Cross Creek Trail #2006. One of these trails must be hiked about 6 miles just to get to this trail, so most people will require more than one day to hike this. The trail passes over an eastern shoulder of Grouse Mountain and several panoramas of the Sawatch Range can be seen from openings in the forest and near timberline areas along the trail.

* There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this trail which is complete with directions, a map, details, and other information about this trail. Or to see quicksheets for other recreation areas across the Forest, click on the "Recreation Quicksheets" link in the right column and select the appropriate Ranger District.
