    Route Description for Stephanie’s Trail

    If you seek a quick fix of fresh air, then Stephanie’s Trail is a great choice. This short trek travels past a few buildings before dipping below the timberline and opening to a luxuriant meadow. Note sections of this route are rocky, thus can be dangerously slippery after rainfall! Wear sturdy footwear and mind your footing on the uneven terrain!

    Embark on your adventure along Stephanie’s Trail from the Section 16 Trailhead. From here, track southwest through meadowlands, past a few buildings, and over Bear Creek Road. After crossing the road, you will travel across a footbridge over Bear Creek. Next, the trail will gradually climb through a mixed pine forest before opening to a lush meadow.

    You will be granted an awesome view of the verdant foothills from the meadow. Revel in the beauty of the Colorado wilderness, and you will soon reach the trail’s end. To get back to the trailhead, retrace your footing along the path back to the trailhead.
