Meadow Mountain TH #2124
The Meadow Mountain trail begins just south of the Holy Cross Ranger Station off Hwy 24 and ends at the line shack and top of the Whiskey Creek trail: This trail is an old forest road and climbs gradually through large open meadows, with relics of old cabins and corrals, and some aspen and spruce-fir forest near the top. The line shack is a small cabin that lies at the end of the trail. The line shack offers a good place for lunch and a vantage point of some views of the Gore Range and Beaver Creek ski area. Evidence of old ski runs shows that this was once an old ski area.
