If you’re topping out on Venable Peak, which sits approximately 400 feet higher than the pass, head cross-country from here. Take care in the few spots where the trail narrows or crosses loose scree.Īfter passing through the slim portion of the Phantom Terrace, you reach a high unnamed pass that delivers superb views back down Venable Creek drainage and out south toward 14,170-foot Kit Carson Peak. The narrow and hidden trail that cuts across the jagged, colorfully banded rock face of 13,177-foot Venable Peak, is obvious and easy to follow. Tromp through a willow-lined section of trail to reach a treeless, rocky portion of the route that marks the beginning of the Phantom Terrace, so named because even though it’s well-defined when you are on it, the route is impossible to see from below. If you’re pushing through in a day, break here, refuel, and explore the lake via a spur trail if you have time. If you want to turn this route into a backpacking trip, this is a serene camp spot.

Leave the trees behind and push through a series of switchbacks that deliver you to Venable Lakes. The trees become sparse, revealing distant mountaintops and the sparkling waters of the creek rushing over boulders below. Return to the main trail and continue climbing. If you have time and energy for a short side trip, follow the trail to a cascade rushing through a small, steep canyon. In the fall, the trees light the forest in a sea of gold.Īfter two miles, you reach a sign for a spur trail to Venable Falls.
Turn left to stay on the Venable Trail, which climbs gradually above a rushing creek as it passes through lush evergreen forest speckled with stands of aspens. To tackle the loop in a counterclockwise direction (Venable to Comanche) like we did, begin on the right side of the parking lot and follow signs for the Venable Trail (#1347).Īfter approximately a half-mile hike through forest, reach a T intersection with the Rainbow Trail. Just before reaching the campground, take the right fork and follow signs to the trailhead.
Turn right onto Schoolfield Road (CR 140) and drive west for 6.5 miles toward Alvarado Campground.
