North Crestone Creek
A popular trail to a very scenic high lake and access to the North Fork and Middle Fork Trails. As one of the most popular trails in the area, the North Crestone Trail hosts day hikers, backpackers, and horse and llama trekkers in abundance on summer weekends and holidays. Take care to avoid increasing the already heavy impact on this beautiful valley by hiking early or late in the season, or on weekdays, and avoiding busy holidays.
