Muddy Creek

This trail offers a unique experience, serving as a gateway to a massive recreational network. While the road itself is scenic, it doesn't lead to a final destination with a view. Instead, it serves as the access point for over 100 miles of multi-use trails, open to hikers, horseback riders, ATVs, and bikes, including Muddy Creek and Rainbow hiking trails. The road is best suited for 4WD vehicles with good ground clearance due to large humps that require careful navigation.

Camping along this trail is dispersed but restricted to designated spots. The road ends at a clearly marked private property with a gate, which, while unlocked, should not be entered.

This is a great alternative if the more popular Medano Pass campsites are full. For those needing to stay connected, you'll likely have some internet reception at the start of the trail, though service becomes unreliable further in, especially on Medano Pass.
