The Colorado River Trail follows the Colorado River, 3.1 miles one-way, 300' elevation gain, to the site of Lulu City, a short-lived gold, silver and lead mining settlement that thrived for little more than a year (1879-1880). Little remains of Lulu City today apart from planks of a few log cabins. The trail passes through quite thick woodland but has some nice views - of the Colorado River, of grassy meadows and of the high Never Summer Mountains to the west.
