Upper Roubideau Area Loop
This hike explores the upper section of the Roubideau Area, a special part of the Uncompahgre Plateau. First descend on Roubideau Trail from Cobb (Gray) Cow Camp to Pool Creek. Aspen trees abound for a beautiful fall hike. After reaching Pool Creek Trail, the trail ascends along tiny Pool Creek through forests of aspen and spruce-fir. A bit of the Old West remains here with cattle driven to their grassy fields by cowboys on horses. The point-to-point hike ends at Pool Creek trailhead or you can loop back to Roubideau Trail trailhead.
