A narrow path leads through pine forest, open meadows and all the way along bubbling Hermosa Creek. The water is crystal-clear and a good option to fill your water bottles. Cross the creek over a wooden bridge to keep your feet dry.

Running

From here you can cross the bridge to follow Hermosa Creek, take the Big Bend trail west to where the Colorado Trail follows the valley ridge, or east via Big Lick Creek up the ridge toward Elbert Creek and Castle Rock.
