First Fork Trail

Route Description for First Fork Trail

If you are after a bit of solitude on the trail and want to take some time to reconnect with nature, then the lightly-trafficked paths of the First Fork Trail will be a great option for you to explore the natural beauty of the San Juan Mountains.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will head to the northwest and follow a route that runs parallel to the First Fork Red Creek. As you gain a small amount of elevation through the forest landscape, take some time to appreciate the beauty of the aspen groves and the rushing waters of the creek, before eventually arriving at the endpoint of the route. From here, you can simply turn back along the same trail and follow it back into the trailhead where you began your laidback woodland adventure.
