I took on the Silvershield Trail in this episode, and it was my first hard rated hike by AllTrails. It was indeed a hard trail with very steep rocky grades. Trekking poles are definitely recommended for this one, and I wish thew ones I ordered would've arrived in time for this one. 

Overall it was a great hike with stunning views from two overlooks on of which is the payoff. There was a added bonus of dinosaur tracks on the trail, and the wildflowers are starting to bloom in the mountains. This hike like all the rest in Ouray is a must do!
