Trail Information

Highlights

The Sevenmile Creek Trail follows an old travel route the Native Americans in the area called "Seven Mile Pass." This off-road trail is now part of the Fourmile Travel Management area and connects with several additional trails nearby. The route connects the Natural Bridge Trail to the top of Trout Creek Pass and is also a connector for the Chubb Park Trail. You will also experience the historic site of the Goddard Homestead, which makes for a unique photo opportunity as there are several old buildings still standing with a view of the Collegiate Peaks in the background.

Well this was a beautiful little blast through the forest. Packed the fam up to run Independence, and decided to use this as a "shortcut" to get off the highway for a bit. The final creek crossing was running a little high, but otherwise nothing treacherous at all, just sand and whoops and some steep ups and downs through some awesome rock formations and pine forest. Rolled past the natural bridge, and then took Leonhardy down to the tunnels and out. Added ~3hrs, but we were stopping for a lot of photo ops.

We rode several trails in the area -- Sevenmile Creek, Natural Bridge, Lenhardy Cutoff, Million Dollar View. It had been raining for the previous 4-5 days, but everything was very passable if not a little muddy. Fun area. We'll have to come back when the clouds are a bit higher so we can enjoy the scenery better.

This is a really fun area. Great trails with enough obstacles to keep it interesting. Lots of dirt bikes, ate's, etc., but they were all responsible drivers. Really great camping spots too. This would be a great area to take someone that is just getting started with technical trails.
