Trail Information
Highlights
Located in Pike National Forest on the outer edge of the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area is Echo Valley Road. This beautiful drive through thick Colorado pines is a great way to get away from the summer sun. The Buffalo Creek Recreation Area covers nearly 25 square miles of multi-use trails and camping. Most of these trails directly connect to the famous Colorado Trail (FS 1776) and locally, 50 miles of hiking and biking trails. If you want to spend some time in the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area but stay away from the masses, this trail will get you away from the main roads and off into the Colorado forest.

I ran this trail on Saturday, February 19, 2022. There was not as much snow as I expected with only 4-6 inches on the ground and drifts to about a foot. The road was well tracked and mostly snow packed with a few slushy/muddy places. The trail itself is very easy but it is a beautiful area.

This trail is open, however, CAUTION. Colorado weather is unpredictable this time of year and there may be the occasional fresh snow fall or mud and melting snow. This trail is in an area of the state where snowfall levels have dropped for the season and the majority of the trails are dry, muddy and/or only have a small bit of snow on them. Again, please use caution if traveling on these trails until the dryer season.
