Trail Overview
Twin Cone is a short, but enjoyable, Jeep trail. There are several fun challenges on the way up, and the views from the top are spectacular. The views allow you to see all of Colorado. A large part of the trail is in the timber and this part of the road is fairly smooth. Most of what is in tundra is very rocky and bumpy - good thing it does not last too long.

Beautiful scenic drive. Lots of people heading up in evening for camping so just be careful one way road. Nothing technical any stock vehicle with decent 4WD will be fine especially when dry.

Closed Gate
The first 5ish miles of the trail are open but the upper gate that would lead to the part of the trail above tree line is closed. Apparently this is permanent since 2016-17.
