Rio En Medio Loop

7.3 miles
1750 ft gain
8880–10290 ft elevation

This delicious loop starts at the Norski Trailhead just before you descend to the Ski Resort. This run has a bit of everything: solitude, technical descents down the Winsor to start, smooth flowing downhill forest road running, moderate forest road climbs, and then a steep and rewarding ascent along the gorgeous Rio en Medio before a short, but exhausting return along the Winsor. Take in the sights and sounds of the beautiful riparian areas and meadows along Rio en Medio. One of my favorites.
