Trail Overview
The east end of Lou Creek ATV Trail starts out as more of a continuation of the Cowboy Lakes ATV trail, climbing up the mountainside on an easy two-track. It comes to the intersection with the Fox Creek ATV trail, and heads south, then zig zags through the Uncompahgre National Forest until it ends at the entrance to the Nate Creek single track. The trail is pretty easy, with small pieces of rock, loose sticks, shallow ruts, and gradual curves. It has big rollers as it traverses the side of the mountain, gradually climbing up throughout the 2.7 miles. The trail gains about 900 feet of elevation throughout the entire route. It has tighter curves through the forest floor, and gets a bit rockier as it climbs up, toward the west end, but is still easy. The steepest spot is the very end.
