Vallecito Creek Trail

If you are after a long-distance hiking route that isn’t very challenging but will still produce some beautiful views, then you will want to check out the Vallecito Creek Trail. Just be sure to wear proper hiking boots with good support, as the trail can be fairly rocky in places.

Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way around the edge of the Vallecito Campground, before meeting up with the banks of the creek. Here, you will make your way to the northeast as you hike along the water’s edge through the tree cover. Take your time and appreciate the mountain views surrounding you, as you continue along the trail and traverse the undulating terrain of the gulch. Eventually, you will arrive at the endpoint of the route at a bridge, at which point, you can simply turn back along the trail on the return to the parking area.
