Rock Creek (as long as you want it to be, up to about 10 miles)

This hike is wonderful because it is beautiful and can truly be as long as you want it to be. Start at the Mosquito Flat trailhead and make your way slowly up. This trail is never steep, but your starting elevation is about 10,000 feet, so you’ll be surprised by your heavy breathing. Follow the wildflower dusted trail along the creek to various lakes and enjoy the scenery. Keep walking the mostly flat trail as long as you want, and on your return, once you’ve made it back to the car, drive to the nearby resort for pie.
