Rat Creek Road

Rat Creek is a breathtaking side loop off of the popular and iconic Bachelor Loop Historic Driving Tour in a lesser-known area of the scenic San Juan Mountains. This rough offroad trail begins at the headwaters of Willow Creek, gives panoramic views of the Continental Divide, and passes through lush meadows and dense forest as it snakes its way down a long valley back to Bachelor Road. If you are seeking a more exciting route in the Creede area but also want to experience the Bachelor Loop, this side spur is the trail for you.
