Signal Mountain (W\u00d8C\/FR-127<\/a>) can be reached from the Dunraven<\/em> trailhead from the south, or from Pingree Park<\/em> Road <\/em>from the north. If you are lucky enough to have a shuttle driver, it makes a great 11+ mile hike from the north fork of the Big Thompson River all the way to the Poudre River.<\/a> The peak is located at the north-east end of the Mummy Range<\/a>\u00a0 in the Comanche Peak\u00a0 Wilderness<\/a> which is part of the Roosevelt National Forest. The summits of Signal Mountain – as well as nearby West Signal – are pushing well above the treeline and thus provide unobstructed 360 degree views. The weather forecast was excellent (it cooled down quite a bit) and I was joined by my best trail-buddy, friend and wife – making this a great anniversary hike.<\/p>\n

Trailhead: 7828 ft \/ 2386 m
\nSummit:\u00a0\u00a0 11262 ft \/ 3432 m
\nElev. gain: 4064 ft \/ 1239 m
\nRoundtrip: 11.7 mi \/ 18.8 km<\/p>\n

Compare this summit with my other activated summits<\/a><\/p>\n

How to get there:<\/strong>
\nTake US34 from Loveland <\/a>towards Estes Park<\/a> through Big Thompson Canyon<\/a>. When you pass through Drake, take a right on CR43 along the north-fork (scenic). Take a right on Dunnraven Glade Road<\/em> (dirt road) which follows the north-east flank of Triangle Mountain. <\/a>You can’t miss the parking lot since it is the end of the (public) road. A private road continues behind a locked gate all the way to Trails End Ranch<\/em>.<\/p>\n
