North Fork Clear Creek

Starting in the historic mining ghost town of Winfield, take Forest Service Road 390.A to the right. This is an easy, beautiful ride that winds through the forest, along the north fork of Clear Creek. Near the beginning of the trail, there is an old cemetery for the residents of Winfield, dating back to the late 1800s. There are bountiful dispersed camping sites, on and off the creek. Beautiful mountain views greet you as you come to the North Fork hiking trailhead, where it begins in the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness.
