Smuggler Road takes you up a quick and easy trail to the the top of Smuggler Mountain. From the top you'll be able to take in the beautiful views of the surrounding area. You get all the views with less of the work!
If you are coming off Independence Pass going West, turn right on Park Avenue. Continue down on this road, it turns into Park Circle. Slide right onto Co Rd 20/Smuggler Mountain Road. Take a right after a couple hundred feet and you will be at the dirt parking lot at the base of the trail.
