Meadow Creek TH #33

2025 Season Update: The Meadow Creek Trail and Trailhead will be closed every day from May 19 to June 14; and then will be closed on weekdays only between June 15 to August 2. Trail crews will be using machinery to improve trail foundation and erosion control features on the trail.  You patience is appreciated while we complete this critical maintenance project.

This trail enters the Eagles Nest Wilderness and eventually takes you up into the high alpine terrain of Eccles Pass. The beginning of the trail climbs steeply as it passes through aspen stands. Great views of Dillon Reservoir and the Upper Blue Valley can be seen from occasional clearings along the Meadow Creek Trail. As you approach timberline, the trail opens up in a large meadow providing beautiful views of the surrounding area.
