Ride it out and back from Indian Creek. It’s a nice semi clear (September) narrow trail traversing the riders left of a steep drainage. Kicked rocks on the way up and made the downhill smooth. Arrived at an old Boy Scout cabin as our goal. Continue to Blowout Canyon or head back to Indian Creek. Worthy ride that with a few days of maintenance in the spring and summer could be one worth a decent drive. Excellent scenery at the top and good cold water to wash up in at the end.

Access Info

Take a left about 2 miles up Indian creek.

Could be over grown in July.

In good shape! A little overgrown in places but really not bad. This trail is the best way to access the epic Blowout Trail.

Two large trees down - need a chainsaw. Snow remains deep in the gully section half way up to the pass.

      This is one of the best "loops" to do in the Palisades area. The climb up Spring Run is not too bad, and...
