General Information
Directions:Drive south from Denver, Colorado on U.S. Hwy 85 (Santa Fe St.) to Sedalia. Turn right (west) onto Douglas County Road 67. Drive on Hwy 67 slightly over 10 miles (from Sedalia) to the Indian Creek Campground, which is located approximately 2 miles. Turn right into the campground. There is a small fee parking area outside the campground. The trailhead is just to the right of the parking area. Both the Indian Creek Campground and the Equestrian Campground are fee areas–even for parking.
General Notes:
Shortly after the trailhead, one may go to the right or to the left to complete “the loop.” This description will start with the left side approach. The approach is mostly uphill and has most of the more “difficult” sections. It is also not as easy to get confused with other “social trails. The first of these trails will occur at about the one and three-quarters mile mark. Stay to the left and travel on for one mile then you will encounter your second trail crossing. At this junction, one can continue straight ahead to access the Colorado Trail #1776 (a very steep, rocky descent). The main trail will take a sharp right at this point and be going north. After about a half mile, another junction will appear. Take a left to continue on the loop. A right turn will take you to a very sharp, talus cover trail that would take you back to the start, but hold on tightly. At this junction, you will head east and mostly uphill for about a mile and a half. At this point, the trail will start to descend in a north/northwesterly direction for about a mile and a half.
The next junction gives the choice of going straight ahead and joining the Roxbury State Park Trail system or taking the right side and continuing the “loop.” At this time, you will again be going mostly uphill for about a half hour. The trail will then mostly descend to the trailhead. Two more trail crossings area ahead. Take the left hand at the first and the right hand at the second.
Accessibility:
The Indian Creek Equestrian Campground is part of the Rampart Range Road. To protect the resources and provide a safer winter experience, the Rampart Range Road is closed to all vehicles wider than 50" annually from December 1 to April 1.
