This mulit-use winter trail follows the Duncan Creek drainage through open meadows and spruce and birch forest. The trail climbs gently for the first ten miles before a steep ascent to a ridgeline with views of the Beaver Creek drainage. This section of trail receives frequent windstorms and portions of the trail may be blown over with drifted snow. From Beaver Creek, the trail traverses a large meadow before crossing the bridge over Windy Creek and onto Wolf Run Cabin. Note that the primary access to the Colorado Creek Cabin is from the Colorado Creek Trail. At mile 14 of the Colorado Creek Trail take the Big Bend Trail 1 mile to the Colorado Creek Cabin.
Not recommended for summer use due to the abundance of wet lowlands along the trail.
The Colorado Creek Trail begins at the Colorado Creek Trail-head located at milepost 57 on the Elliott Highway.
Not allowing camp fires anymore really sucks. No fire ban and still no camp fires. Don't know if it's a permanent thing but the signs appear it will be permanent.
Fantastic dispersed camping area. No amenities, and a rough road make access somewhat difficult. Beautiful aspens all around.
This was exactly what I was looking for: beautiful, great tent space, a fire ring, and a gorgeous environment--and free!
Nice little walk in sites, road noise from the co road. Very difficult getting to the river from here as its on a hill overlooking the valley. 1 very old and small drop toilet. No car camping.
