Mesa Creek Road

This scenic trail climbs into the hills through dense aspen forest and consists mostly of dirt and gravel. The wide road allows vehicles to pass and makes it possible to avoid the 4–5 inch ruts and washouts early on. Farther in, the trail becomes more challenging with 4–6 inch rock gardens, low-hanging logs, and an 8–10° off-camber section with 8-inch ruts. At 1.4 miles, the trail becomes cliffside with excellent mountain views, while the route also provides access to additional trails deeper into the forest. A private, level campsite for up to three vehicles is located at the end with great views of the surrounding aspens.
