Trail Overview

Leaving Purgatory Resort, Forest Service Road 578 quickly climbs to Hermosa Park utilizing well maintained narrow dusty switchbacks. Once peaking Forest Service Road 578, it drops you into a beautiful valley with jaw dropping views of North Twilight Peak. At the very west end of Hermosa Park lies Sig Creek Campground, a pretty popular dispersed campground that all vehicles can access. If theres no sites available, venture up Sid Creek where you'll find a handful of pull off spots suitable for camping.

Really fun and trail, everyone mentions the switchbacks and I thought they would be worse than they actually were. River crossing was doable even for my parents stock GMC Canyon

Easy trail for 4x4 although i saw passenger cars. Aired down my tires and make it very comfortable. The road will be closed Aug 18 opening September 13th. The sign was misleading, but I got lucky it was open on the last day.
