Hero: Gordon Creek
small-sr Icon

Located in Carbon County, west of Price, Gordon Creek is a local iconic challenge through a scenic canyon that ends at a picturesque cascading waterfall. This dead-end spur trail off Trestle Road is not known for being a swimming hole due to shallow waters but is instead recognized for its scenic riparian landscape and the abundant ancient and more modern historic gems found in the area. The trail is very narrow and has numerous rock ledges on dirt hills that require experience and a capable 4x4 with extra ground clearance. Full-size motorized use is allowed to the waterfalls, but the historic Summer House Cabin can only be accessed via hike or less than 52" wide ATVs. Hiking through the area canyons and cliffs will reward you with numerous pictographs and petroglyphs hidden amongst the rocks. No camping was found along the route, and to help preserve the area, please do not camp near the falls. The trail is closed in the winter months.
