Rist Canyon to Masonville
Rist Canyon is a very popular and challenging climb. The top is actually higher than Estes Park! It’s not uncommon to do this as as an out-and-back too. If you want to loop it, it’s fast rolling down back to Masonville and then you just have a few short climbs to back home.
