I have been trying to research information on a trail (or trails) to Gunsight Mountain without much luck. Does anyone have any insight into where I could find any information or personal experience? I am trying to find the best location to start and possibly conditions of the trail. I have always wanted to do this hike. Thanks.

Which side are you looking to go from? There is one trail that starts right where the Glenn highway crosses Caribou creek. It has been a while since I have hiked it and it used to be a good trail. There is also a trail that takes off form the now closed way side at about mile post 118 of the Glenn. Also that is a large gravel pit about a mile further down the road that has a trail that goes towards the top.
Hope this helps and have fun!

Thanks, that does help. We are not sure which side to go up since we are just beginning to get information.
