Parking for Rabbit Ears Peak Trail just past the stone monument on FDR 311 continue walking up FDR 311 through a patch of forest to the clearing. On your right, guests will notice another jeep trail, FDR 291, with a small hiking symbol on a post; this is the old jeep road that will take guests up to Rabbit Ears Peaks.

The old dirt road winds through breathtaking meadows of wildflowers. Upon entering the forested part of the trail, guests encounter the first real incline of the hike. The last uphill grade is very steep and will bring visitors to the base of the Ears. Be careful not to slide coming down these steep grades on the return hike.

This 8.3 mile trail travels through the Medicine Bow/Routt National Forest. The beginning elevation is 9,604 feet and the ending elevation is 10,654 feet.
