Highlights
This trail near Boulder, CO is popular to combine with the Coney Creek (aka Coney Flats) Trail, this part of that loop is considerably easier with the exception of The Gatekeeper. Middle St. Vrain is located near the Indian Peaks Wilderness which offers some great views and great forest scenery.
The drive itself is a nice combination of off-road bumpiness and a trip through the northern Colorado wilderness. There are a number of official walking trails and fishing opportunities available and many people camp nearby just for the chance to walk these trails. Water runs as a year-round stream through many sections of the trail and you'll drive over Timberline Falls. Middle Saint Vrain may not have the water crossing of its neighbors, but it is a great trail onto itself and a Colorado favorite.
