Route Description for Deep Creek Trail
If you are after a lengthy, but not so difficult hiking route in the San Juan Mountains that is close to Telluride and offers some spectacular alpine scenery, then you will certainly want to experience the Deep Creek Trail.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will head to the northeast across an open field and enter into the dense cover of the forest. Here, you will climb uphill above the valley, while taking in the beautiful woodland scenery of the surrounding aspens.
As you head to the east, you will continue through a mixture of forest and charming meadows that offer an amazing view of the landscape surrounding Telluride. After reaching the endpoint of the hike, simply turn back along the same trail and follow it into the trailhead where you started.
