The Wagon Loop Trail is a popular multi-use trail that climbs steeply up to the Colorado Trail. After turning left on the Colorado Trail, it then turns right off the Colorado Trail to continue to a waterfall, and then on to a lake.

The lower portion of this trail is maybe 2/3 to 1/2 climbable, with the rest of it requiring hike-a-bike due to steep grades and large boulders.

Expect hikers and equestrian traffic on this trail.

Nice trail, I think they cleaned up the trail some. We hiked down from the falls, there are some rocky parts, but less traveled than the falls...
