Near Fruita, Colorado
Opal Hill Trailhead does not offer reservations through Recreation.gov. Please take a look at the area details below for more information about visiting this location. Enjoy your visit!
The Opal Hill trail consists of rugged singletrack that has been naturally sculpted by rainwater runoff, resulting in an uneven, rocky surface where thick-soled footwear is highly recommended. There is zero natural shade along the entire route, so visitors should plan for direct sun exposure, high winds at the summit, and dry desert temperatures. It is an ideal destination for winter, spring, and late autumn treks when the weather is cooler.
