Hiking
The Lime Creek tributary valley is a beautiful alpine valley that rests in the shadow of Engineer Peak, Jura Knob, and Twin Sisters.

Hiking
Lime Creek is the last decent and reliable water source if you hike the Colorado Trail southbound. There is a nicely shaded spot to take a break and filter the water. Campspots are not too easy to find here though.
