Route Description for Kannah Creek Trail
Whether you are planning a multi-day trek through the area and are looking to camp at Carson Lake, or consider yourself a seasoned adventurer capable of handling this lengthy route in a single day, the Kannah Creek Trail is a rugged adventure in Grand Mesa National Forest that will certainly test your limits.
Setting out from the Kannah Creek trailhead, you will head to the northeast along the path and follow it through a rugged stretch of landscape that is blanketed with a variety of plantlife.
