Buffalo Creek Park

The first part of the trail from the parking lot is doubletrack gravel. This short Connector Path leads you to a nice bridge over Buffalo Creek. The singletrack Buffalo Creek Park Loop starts a short ways up on the right after the bridge.The counterclockwise climb is shorter but steeper. The top of the climb is about 1.5 miles in, measured from the parking lot. One section is very steep with stacked switchbacks up a ridge. After that, it is mostly downhill hiking through a really nice forest and some boulder fields.There is a one-mile out-and-back extension that breaks off a little after the peak of the main climb. The trail is to the right if hiking counterclockwise.
