Little Creek #655

The Little Creek Trail #655 travels up the Little Creek drainage at a gradual uphill grade through open parks, spruce and aspen stands. It crosses Little Creek and continues at a moderate uphill grade in an open meadow. The trail crosses the creek again at the intersection of two large drainages and continues to follow the Little Creek drainage. After it passes through a fenceline it levels off near the head of Little Creek in open aspen, spurce/fir, and Ponderosa and comes to an end at the intersection with the Cabin Trail #606 near a large stock pond. The Little Creek drainage also supports a fair trout population.
