    Directions to Trailhead

    The Williams Creek Camp Trail is a fantastic hiking route in Colorado that will lead you uphill through an atmospheric forest to reach an elevated meadow. While out hiking the trail, you will gain a large amount of elevation as you work your way through a sea of pine and aspen trees, before arriving at a meadow with sweeping views across the landscape. Make sure to bring bear spray and exercise all precautions while out on the trail.

    Route Description for Williams Creek Camp Trail

    Whether you are setting out for a challenging bit of exercise or to experience some amazing views across the picturesque Colorado landscape, the Williams Creek Camp Trail is a fantastic route that will give you a workout and expose you to the natural beauty of the San Juan Mountains at the same time.

    Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the northeast and almost immediately begin climbing uphill through a vast forest of aspen and pine trees. Take some time here to appreciate the beauty of the forest and the intermittent views through the breaks in the tree cover, as you climb further up towards the top of the trail.

    Eventually, the trail will steepen and you will make the final push up to a beautifully scenic meadow along the Continental Divide Trail. After taking in the views, simply head back along the trail to return to the trailhead.
