    Tips

    September 11, 2025

    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.

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