Byers Peak looms over the Fraser Valley, and is a spectacular peak to trail run. With an excellent trail all the way to the top, and stunning views of the Williams Fork drainage, Gore Range, and Fraser Valley running Byers Peak is a locals favorite. We ran it last week and only saw one other group. Another amazing mountain run in Colorado's high country. It took me on this trip 2:27 roundtrip.
