This section of trail is the main section of the South Saint Vrain Trail. The South Saint Vrain Trail leaves from just off the Peak to Peak Highway near Ward, CO, and follows the South Saint Vrain Creek in a pretty forest until it intersects with a fire road. You can actually take this trail all the way to the popular Brainard Lake Recreation Area in the Indian Peaks Wilderness, get in a great hike, and avoid the entrance fee and parking spot issues!
