January 18, 2021You can get on another trail and keep going. But for this one there wasn’t too much. Pretty trees and I’m sure pretty views if it’s not foggy Very slippery trail.
December 29, 2020Open hillside to teat out our new snow shoes
November 23, 2020Loved finally getting to see Isak! the trail is snowy and icy in some spots. Had the whole place to ourselves at 8:30AM on Saturday!
November 23, 2020Great trail to do other than skiing in Breck. We took the trail to the right. Followed it for about an hour and a half where we found a break in the trail to go left. Took it left towards the “bench”. Kept going further and brought us to a snow filled mountain side. So pretty!
November 20, 2020Gorgeous
November 2, 2020Easy hike where you can see the troll. Very neat! Only downside was proximity to roads/ice rink— didn’t feel secluded in the woods. Trail was very pretty with the snow.
October 27, 2020easy trail. not hard or moderate. snow everywhere and was beautiful.
October 21, 2020October 19, 2020lots of road nose
October 19, 2020Easy trail, a little elevation gain, AND no one at troll at 7:30AM!!
October 15, 2020October 14, 2020Scenic views on a kid-friendly trail. The trailhead is easy to find from the ice rink parking lot.
October 5, 2020Great conditions!
September 30, 2020The trail is easy and if you go to the right and hike past the little creek behind the ice rink you get to a cool field of aspen trees. Today most of the leaves were blown out but the forest floor was covered in beautiful yellow leaves and my kids loved to run through the trees. We hiked up around top of Illinois Creek and connected to Blue river bike trail and then up behind the Troll and then down to troll. Took pics of the kids with the Troll and walked back out to car. It was peaceful and quiet in the woods but of course the Troll area was busy.
September 29, 2020September 28, 2020September 26, 2020Lots of people!!!
September 26, 2020Quiet an easy and short hike.At the end of hike you see unobstructed mountain views. Not so impressive though
September 21, 2020September 15, 2020Pretty views but you walk above the road and hear traffic. Easy hike for anybody but not an impressive hike.
September 14, 2020The trail started off a bit crowded but if you keep going you'll eventually break away from the groups and see some AMAZING views of aspens. I really didn't know how far to go so I just walked the trail for an hour or so and turned back.
September 7, 2020Very short, troll is incredible
August 28, 2020August 27, 2020August 25, 2020Terrible directions
August 23, 2020Easy but good for a family. Only recorded the way back. 4 miles round trip. Nice canopy.
August 17, 2020Didn’t find the path we wanted to but still saw the troll. Very easy hike and short but troll is cool
August 11, 2020Nice morning walk, very crowded when I got off the trail around 10am- almost empty around 8am, sadly most people weren’t wearing masks.
August 7, 2020It’s not really a trail more like a brief walk through a nice path to see a troll. The troll is pretty cool to see in the middle of the forest! FYI -Chilly weather
