There’s nothing quite like that first hit of mountain air… or that other kind of hit. 

For those of us who vibe with both trailheads and THC, the outdoors becomes a playground of elevated experiences. Whether you're sparking up a solo sesh or cruising switchbacks with your crew, hiking high can be a transcendent adventure — if done right.

In this blog, we’re dishing on the best trails to hike and toke, plus dropping gear recs from Lifted Lines that'll keep you lookin’ fly while getting lifted.


🌲 1. Emerald Lake Trail – Rocky Mountain National Park, CO

  • Distance: 3.2 miles
  • Difficulty: Easy-Moderate
  • Elevation Gain: 700 ft

A mellow, scenic trail with pine-drenched views and that signature Colorado crispness. Ideal for microdosing nature and THC gummies. Pair it with our chillest design:

🧢 Essential Gear Checklist:

  • A Lifted Lines hat to keep the sun off your dome
  • Lightweight hoodie like Rocky Mountain High for breeze or lake days
  • Small airtight container for your flower or edibles
  • Hydration pack (seriously, drink water)
  • Snacks that slap (trail mix, gummies, jerky)

⚠️ Quick Reminder:

Leave no trace — that includes roaches and wrappers. Be respectful of other trail-goers and know your local laws. Nature’s not just a vibe, it’s a responsibility.
