Kingston Peak

Trail Overview

You can see James Peak on the western horizon on a clear day. The trail goes just above 12,000 feet, so snow arrives early and stays late. Unlicensed vehicles are permitted, and this is an enjoyable trail for them. Parking and camping are available on the north end of the trail.

Difficulty

Difficult. Very steep and rocky in several places. Northern part of trail follows a shelf road that may intimidate some drivers. We do not recommend stock vehicles although an aggressive, high-clearance SUV with low-range gears and a skilled driver can do it.

History

Today, Alice is a picturesque mountain residential community. In the 1880s, however, it was an active gold and silver mining town with its own stamp mill. The 'Glory Hole,' a large open pit mine in town, was the biggest producer. Not much remains of the original town except a restored school house at the corner of Alice Road and Silver Creek Road.
