Curecanti Creek Trail

About

The Curecanti Creek Trail is a moderate hiking route that spans a distance of approximately 4 miles round trip, with an elevation gain of around 800 feet. Hikers can expect a mix of forested and open terrain, with the trail following the creek for a significant portion of the route. From September through November, the trail is particularly popular for its fall foliage, with the changing aspen leaves creating a striking backdrop for the hike. With parking and restrooms available at the trailhead, and pets allowed on the trail, this is a relatively accessible option for those looking to experience the beauty of the Gunnison area during the fall season.
