Pinos Creek

Pinos Creek is a well-maintained dirt road that provides access from Del Norte to the South San Juan Wilderness. The trail does not contain any obstacles besides a few blind curves. There are a few campsites on the trail large enough for multiple rigs or RVs. The majority of the trail is tree-lined, but a few breaks in the trees near the north end give way to views of the surrounding mountains. The last 4 miles on the south end of the trail weave you through a dense aspen tree forest which during the fall will be beautiful when the leaves begin to change colors. The trail can be easily driven by a 2WD vehicle.
