Deer Creek Summit North Trailhead / Sno-Park

Deer Creek Summit NorthTrailHead/Sno-Park is a wide gravel turnout just off the Summit of Boulder Deer County Highway # 602.  This is a large parking lot that can accommodate any size vehicle. The Kettle Crest National Scenic Trail # 13 begins to climb right out of the parking area with breathtaking panoramic views of the landscape and will take you to an elevation of over 7000ft. 

The winter season, Deer Creek offers 12 miles of groomed cross-country ski trails available for both nordic and skate skiers to enjoy. Tracks from wildlife such as moose and snowshoe hairs can often be seen on the trail as they take advantage of easy traveling on the packed snow.  For a quick meal or resupply of grocery's, the small town of Curlew is just a short 10 minute drive west over the summit.

Provides access to:

• Deer Creek Summit North Loop Trail #40
• Deer Creek Summit South Loop Trail #43 (across highway)
