Description

Sheridan Hill offers a wonderful detour within the popular Yankee Hill network of 4x4 trails, situated west of Central City, Colorado. This enjoyable loop trail climbs up and around Sheridan Hill, serving as a connector between Cumberland Gulch and the main Yankee Hill trail to the east. As you approach the hill's crest, prepare for breathtaking panoramic views of the majestic surrounding mountains. You'll encounter some loose and rocky climbs that add a bit of excitement and require four-wheel drive, but the trail is generally quite manageable for standard 4x4 vehicles. This makes it an excellent choice for drivers looking for a scenic journey with a moderate level of challenge.

Directions

You'll find Sheridan Hill trail within the Yankee Hill trail system. It acts as a connector, linking Cumberland Gulch to another section of the main Yankee Hill trail further to the east. While specific turn-by-turn directions to the exact trailhead aren't provided here, you can generally access it by navigating the Yankee Hill network, which is located west of Central City.

Difficulty

The trail features loose, rocky climbs that will require you to use your four-wheel drive. However, these sections are not overly difficult and should be manageable for most stock 4x4 vehicles. It's a good trail for those who are comfortable with basic off-roading in a 4WD and are looking for a rewarding drive.
