Autumn Creek Trail Description
Autumn Creek Trail is known for its beauty in the summer and winter months. You can hike this beautiful trail in the summer and enjoy views of Three Bears Lake and Elk Mountain surrounded by fields of wildflowers. This trail is also popular in the winter when these stunning views are blanketed with snow.
Wandering through the trees, you will come across Three Bears Lake surrounded by mountains. As you continue, the trees will taper off, and views of fields surrounding the base of Elk Mountain will come into focus. After taking in the scenery, you can head back the way you came as this is an out-and-back trail.
