About
The Lower Spring Creek South Connector is a 1.1-mile moderate hiking trail located near Montrose, Colorado. It serves as a connector between BLM land and the Uncompahgre National Forest, following the rim above Spring Creek. The route winds through pinyon and juniper trees, featuring a few technical sections where footing requires attention. A notable feature is the creek crossing, which may include a log during spring runoff or be casual at other times. The trail descends toward the National Forest boundary. Parking is available at the trailhead. Conditions can vary by season, with mud possible in the lower canyon areas. The trail is open for hiking year-round.
