Allen Mountain Trail #269

The trail begins on Forest Road 8460 and climbs 2.5 miles to the top of Allen Mountain. Here it enters the open, subalpine landscape and follows the ridge to its junction with Greenwood Lake Trail #253.

Covering just 4.7 km, this is a gentle outing perfect for families or beginners. Allow roughly 1 hour and 3 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. Look for the 269 trail markings to stay on the official route.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
