Rolling Creek Trail
|
| | Beautiful and Brutal. If you plan on using the entire Rolling Creek Trail to get to Wigwam Park please be advised that while the scenery is outstanding there is a 2300 ft. vertical ascent (in 3 miles) about 2 miles in that will take a backpacker at least 3 hours to complete. Pack light and eat your Wheaties. Don't forget your camera! Says Nick
Hiking in Colorado is such a great thing to do. In the Front Range you'll find lots of hiking trails, it's |
a great hiking area. We all need to get out in nature once in a while and Rolling Creek Trail in Park County, Colorado is just what you need. You'll have to go far from Denver-Aurora to get to Rolling Creek Trail but there's
| | great natural beauty awaiting you along it. This is a popular spot for people from Pine; a tour here wouldn’t be complete without a visit to close by Pike National Forest. So much cool stuff in the Front Range, just impressive. If you come at the right time of year, South Platte River - North Fork offers some fine whitewater. Everybody loves Wigwam Park; camping is available at Buffalo Creek Campground. There are some great whitewater spots on South Platte | |
