There is a switch back trail through the middle of the property marked by tree branches/logs and pink/green flags. Further trail description below the instructions. Best way to find the trail from the gate is to either follow the fence line up to the right all the way to the top of the property or walk straight up the gulley until you see the first green flag. The green flags mark the beginning and end of each switchback. There are 29 rows of switchbacks. Between the green flags there are pink flags to guide you with branches and logs to mark the left and right of each trail. There are a few places where the trail merges which is marked by 2 yellow flags. The last (or first depending on the ascent or descent chosen) trail row has yellow flags that have been colored pink (see pictures at the very end of the collage). It is about a 4 mile round trip hike if you follow the switch backs up then down (or vice versa). For you hiking purists the switchback rows are not perfectly parallel. This was a 3 year manual effort. The more ya’ll hike it the more visible it will be.

Hummingbird Trails - 15 Acres of private trails in Conifer, CO

Hi! Sorry for the inconvenience - We have reservations on hold until we get the trail system fully marked and a few things set up for guests. Message me and I can keep you informed as soon as we’re ready to go. Hope you’ll visit our enchanted forest in the mountains! We have 15 acres of trails (2 miles of different trail loops) that run through our property, including a narrow seasonal stream with a trail running alongside (the stream runs strong in the Spring and begins to dry up in July. It will run again if there’s been a lot of rain). We use the trails for dog walking, hiking, and mountain biking. May-September we have hundreds of hummingbirds zipping through our property. The trails are considered intermediate: easy in parts, and intermediate in parts, with uneven Colorado rocky terrain. The trails wind up and down the side of the mountain and empty into the forest and the meadows. This property is not for everyone - it’s very natural. The trails are in great condition and it beautiful, but there is a wild element to it, similar to any park in the area. If you aren’t sure how your dog will react, keep them on a leash until you’re both used to the trails. We will try to keep the trails available in the winter for snow shoeing.
