Ceran Saint Vrain Trailhead

Ceran Saint Vrain Trailhead is located along the South Saint Vrain Creek just north of Boulder County Road 94, approximately two miles east of Colorado Highway 72. This trailhead provides access to the Ceran Saint Vrain Trail (#801). The easy Ceran Saint Vrain Trail follows the South Saint Vrain Creek downstream for 1.9 miles. The trail ends at National Forest System Road 252, a rough four-wheel drive road. This road climbs 0.5 miles northwest to a four-way intersection from which it is a steep half-mile to the left up to Miller Rock. Miller Rock is a scenic high-point that offers 360-degree views.
