Description
This bite-sized hike makes a loop around St. Louis Creek Campground by combining the Creekside Trail and Creekside Loop Trail. The names are a bit confusing, but navigation is not difficult once you are out on the trail. This loop makes a good option for campers or for anyone driving from Fraser out into the national forest. Scenery includes the flowing creek and surrounding meadows, wildflowers in summer, gold leaves in fall, and views of Byers Peak up the valley.
