Trail Overview
Capitol creek road is a moderate trail that offers access to many trailheads for hiking, including Capitol Creek trail and Hell Roaring Trail. As a result, this area can get heavily trafficked as backpackers, horses, hikers, and peak baggers use this road to access these areas. This trail will give you access to the Maroon Bells Snowmass Wilderness and provides exceptional fall foliage.
Difficulty
The road is narrow and rutted and gets a bit more technical after the Capitol Creek Trailhead section.
