Coordinates: N37° 54' 47'' W107° 30' 14''
Location: San Juan Range, Colorado, USA
Grizzly Gulch is the most popular trail to Handies Peak, one of the five 14,000 ft. peaks in the area. From this trailhead, three Fourteeners can be visited in two days. The best time to visit is late July and early August when the tundra basin below the peak is carpeted with wildflowers. A small alpine lake in the eastern spur of the basin can be reached as an interesting 1/2-mile side trip. The top of Handies Peak offers a spectacular view of the San Juan Mountains.
