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. Follow the 269 waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
