The Spring Creek Trail - Abajos #159 is 2.7 miles long. It begins at Forest Trail #020, off of Forest Road #079, and ends at Forest Road #113. This trail goes in and out of aspen stands and open meadows with views into Spring Creek and towards North Peak. In fall, the golden yellow leaves of the aspens make this an especially beautiful hike.

Trail closed to Mountain Bikes and Motorcycles from Oct 1 through May 15th annually.

Yeah, you can climb it, but it’s absolutely amazing as a descent! Also easily shuttled if you’d like max fun. The aspen sections as you pass the saddle mid way are what mtb dreams are made of.

A good alpine climbing trail- some, but not too much hike-a-bike - and some great views.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
