Trail Overview

Surrounded by the expansive Rampart Range network, Fern Creek seems unassuming from its trailhead but provides an exciting connector for those seeking pockets of slightly more technical terrain. You'll find rolling whoops, steep rocky descents or ascents, access to multiple ATV trails, and interesting boulder formations throughout between its start and finish. True to its name, Fern Creek is situated in a gulch and roughly follows a small babbling creek, not notated on most maps, making the plant life quite lush. Add this trail to your list as you zig-zag around the Rampart Range to give a little spice to the day.
