Ceran Saint Vrain Trail and Miller Rock Trail

The trail follows a dense forest corridor along the creek for most of the way and is particularly attractive in the spring (early June), when the much-sought-after calypso orchid blooms abundantly in the decaying matter of the forest floor. For panoramic views, do the optional climb to Miller Rock summit, a pile of impressive boulders. An added bonus of this hike is the soft terrain, created by the decay of pine and spruce needles over many seasons. This feature is particularly beneficial for a dog with sensitive paws or for one who is recuperating from chafed paws or injury. If this is the case, skip the steep, gravelly, and rocky ascent to Miller Rock.
