    Route Description for Tabour Creek Trail

    Revel in the diversity and grandeur of the Colorado wilderness as you trek the Tabour Creek Trail. Departing from the trailhead you will be guided through dense pine woodlands, before graduating the timberline into the vibrant alpine tundra. Traveling to high elevations, it is important to be acclimatized to the area’s altitude prior to your hike. Additionally, be sure to keep an eye on the skies as you make your way to the exposed mountain pass. Note the road to the trailhead is rough and rugged, demanding a vehicle with high ground clearance and 4-wheel drive.

    Departing from the trailhead on Lincoln Creek Road, hikers will follow the Tabour Creek Trail south through pine woodlands. Enjoy the tree shade while you can, as it won’t last long. Soon you will top the treeline and begin your journey through the lush alpine tundra. Enjoy the impressive panoramas of the surrounding peaks as you make your way along Tabour Creek. Eventually, you will pass Tabour Lake in the west—feel free to head up and explore the lakeshore if you have the time and energy. If not, continue along the wildflower lined path to the mountain pass.

    From the trail’s end you will be granted an up close and personal view of Truro Peak in the east and Larson Peak in the south. Revel in the expansive mountain scenery from the pass and when you are ready, backtrack along the path to return to the trailhead.
