Upper Iowa Gulch

Southeast of Leadville, in the historic mining district, lays the hidden gem of Iowa Gulch. Located in the Mosquito Range, this trail climbs to the western base of the class-2 14er, Mount Sherman. Dotted with old mine buildings, the entire route provides impressive views of other high-altitude mountains, including Mount Sheridan and Dyer Mountain. Great for the views and scratching another 14er off your list.
