Mill Creek Basin Trail works as a connector with Cub Lake, making a loop around Mill Creek. This area has some of the most popular trails in the Rocky Mountains, but this trail is a gem where you can have a peaceful hike and probably encounter just a few people. If you are going up the valley during winter or late autumn, it is good to wear spikes or snowshoes; this is not an alpine route, but it can have some deep snow sections.
