Red Creek

Part of the historic Spanish Trail Corridor, Red Creek is a scenic and mild 4x4 challenge within the pristine and rugged Fishlake National Forest landscape. The lower elevation section of the trail near Interstate 70, is a dense cottonwood canyon with red cliffs and a couple of shady campsites near the trailhead. The trail winds up through Pando forests with loose rock and dirt sections and mild washouts. Along the higher sections of the trail, there are a few limited campsites. As you approach the southern end of the trail, you will encounter loose, jagged rocks within hard-pack dirt.
