Description

The Spanish Peaks are a pair of prominent mountains that are outliers of the Culebra range in southern Colorado. West Spanish Peak is the most prominent of the two with an elevation of 13,584', this makes it the easternmost mountain over 13,000' in the United States. An interesting geological feature of note is the more than 500 dikes radiating from the mountains, many of which are clearly visible from the summit.

Description

The Great California Loop follows three long trails - most of the California section of the Pacific Crest Trail on the east side of the loop, most of the California Coastal Trail to the west, and the majority of Bigfoot Trail to the north. The southern connector option shown has been routed to utilize as much trail as possible without crossing private property (this connection is open-route).

Two long trail terminuses are included in this route: the southern terminus of the PCT and the NW terminus of the BFT.
