Overview

In the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area within Pike National Forest, EOS Mill Road is a lesser-known gem offering a serene drive-through of towering Colorado evergreens. This all-season trail owes its name to a historic sawmill that's been part of the local fabric since the early 1930s. As part of a diverse 25-square-mile network featuring multi-use trails and abundant camping opportunities, EOS Mill Road is a convenient connector to the renowned Colorado Trail (FS 1776). With an additional 50 miles of hiking and biking trails in the immediate vicinity, this trail serves as a tranquil gateway to many outdoor activities. It's an inviting route for those seeking both natural beauty and a touch of local history.
