Trail Information

Highlights

Once the Miller Jeep Trail, Lockwood Creek Trail was shifted to this path sometime in the early 2000's. The original trail once followed Lockwood Creek all the way down to where it now turns into the Miller Jeep Trail. Over the years, the Ranger Service has quietly changed out the trail signs to make us think that this is the Lockwood Creek Trail. Thus, when with a group, you might have an argument about which trail it is - Lockwood Creek or Miller Jeep Trail. Along the route is a challenging trail that links to several other trails in the area. It starts with crossing Lockwood Creek immediately, followed by a steep, rocky climb. This is about as difficult as this trail (Lockwood Creek Trail) gets. After the initial rocky climb, there is a steep switchback climb to the top of the mountain. Most of the rest of the trail runs along the ridges of the mountains as you make your way towards Alamo Mountain where this trail ends at the base of Miller Jeep Trail.

This is not a technical trail but has prolonged steep assents and descents. Lunch at Lockwood Flats is a nice break.

We only did part of this trail to get to the yellow jacket trail. This trail is a little easier then it was 10 years ago, but if your going to miller jeep after this one miller has gotten harder. This trail is clear and in good shape.
