& San Isabel National Forest, Cimarron & Comanche National
Grasslands, National Forest in Colorado
Mainly used by fishermen wishing to fish the 3 mile Cheesman Canyon between
the Wigwam Club & Cheesman Dam, the 3.5 mile Gill Trail begins at the
Cheesman Canyon Trailhead on CR 126 and ends at a gauging station below Cheesman
Dam. Gill Trail begins by briefly following Wigwam Creek, then crosses FR 211
and climbs to the first views of the river. From this point, hikers need to make
a choice to stay on a high trail or drop immediately to the river.

The high
trail travels to the gauging station and parallels the South Platte River and
offers views of the river and dramatic rock formations.
To reach Gill Trail, travel east from Bailey along Highway 285 to Pine
Junction and turn south (right) onto CR 126 and continue 21 miles from Pine
Junction to the Cheesman Canyon Trailhead.
