Dunraven Trail/North Fork of Big Thompson River Trail

The Dunraven trailhead is about 3 miles from the national park boundary. The well-marked trail follows the stream and makes half a dozen stream crossings over plank or log footbridges, allowing plenty of water access for your dog. The early section of the trail goes through private land, so please stick to the trail. You will pass an old open-sided barn and a horse corral across the stream from you in this stretch.
