The North Halfmoon Creek Trailhead marks the boundary for the Mount Massive Wilderness (meaning no bikes or motorized vehicles). The trailhead has enough parking for about a dozen cars, and there are pull-offs along the road up to the trailhead, though this road gets pretty rough once you pass the main Mount Massive Trailhead at the Colorado Trail crossing.

The start of the trail into the wilderness is made up of runnable grades that exist almost all the way to North Halfmoon Lakes. If you are running up Mount Massive from here, be prepared to abruptly start hiking up some steep switchbacks not far from the trailhead.
