Drift Creek #815

The Drift Creek Trail #815 starts at Colorado Highway 133 and climbs up through brush country and then through aspen forest to the Drift Creek drainage. Here the trail ends near some old abandoned roads that were once used for coal exploration drilling. By following the abandoned roads much of the west side of Huntsman Ridge can be accessed. Watch for deer and elk as they are often seen in this area.
