Route Description for Ferguson Canyon Trail to Upper Meadow

The Ferguson Canyon Trail to Upper Meadow is a challenging, out-and-back route for experienced hikers. This trail is steep, so wear proper footwear and bring hiking poles if you’d like some extra support. Dogs are allowed along this route but must be kept on leash at all times. Bring more than enough water for you and your pup when you head out on this adventure. Located in the Twin Peaks Wilderness Area, the Ferguson Canyon Trail is a gorgeous hike through aspen forest and towering canyon walls decorated with trickling streams and vibrant wildflowers. This hike is a beautiful way to spend a day outside and away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
