    Tips

    September 26, 2025

    A tough but rewarding climb that follows a rushing creek deep into the San Juans. The trail treats you to constant river views, with cascades and waterfalls breaking up the ascent. It’s a steady grind, but the cool spray and the sound of rushing water make this one of the more refreshing stretches of high-altitude running near Silverton. At this section you will have to cross a few small creeks and might want to refresh your feet for a bit.
