Rich Creek Trail is the epitome of the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness. Much of the trail travels through a high alpine meadow and holds water much of the year (welcoming late season wildflowers and wildlife). It's likely you will encounter others out using this trail, and it is in an easily affected area so please keep on established trails or spread out as a group when having to travel off trail.
