Empire offers terrain for novice and experienced outdoor enthusiasts alike. Gray's and Torrey's Peaks are two of Colorado's friendlier 14,000-foot mountains, and the slightly more challenging Mt. Bierdstadt is also close. For experienced skiers, plenty of backcountry steep awaits at Berthoud Pass, just to the north, while the more conventional <a href="/resortski-area/loveland-ski-area">Loveland Ski Area</a> is just 20 minutes away. The town's <a href="https://www.jonespassguides.com/">Jones Pass Guides</a> takes visitors to epic backcountry terrain via snowcat.
Just west of town, you'll find the <a href="https://visitclearcreek.com/things-to-do/trails-and-recreation-maps/hiking-trails/">Education Research Trail</a>, an ADA-accessible interpretive trail with enghancements for those with visual impariments that details the history of wagon-road travel over Berthoud Pass during the region's Gold Rush.
