Grays and Torreys are two of the closest fourteeners located west of the Denver Metropolitan area, just off I-70. This is an easy trip for a one-day adventure, but start early to stay out of the afternoon thunderstorms. Drive Time: 1.25 Hours How to get there: Drive west on Interstate 70 to Georgetown, and continue for another six miles to exit 221, also known, as the Bakersville exit. Take the dirt road south through Bakersville and up Stevens Gulch (CR319). One mile from Bakersville the road forks, take the fork to the left (CR321). Continue for another 2 miles to the trailhead parking where the trail starts, you will be near the Steven’s Mine. The trail to Grays and Torreys Peaks crosses the creek and winds southwest 2 miles into a large cirque. From this point, the trail climbs up 1.5 miles to the summit of Grays Peak. To do Torreys take the trail northwest from Grays, running along the ridge of the saddle between the two peaks. Be careful, it is narrow in places. Return via the same route.
