Williams Creek Camp Trail Description
Whether you are setting out for a challenging bit of exercise or to experience some amazing views across the picturesque Colorado landscape, the Williams Creek Camp Trail is a fantastic route that will give you a workout and expose you to the natural beauty of the San Juan Mountains at the same time.
Setting out from the trailhead, you will make your way to the northeast and almost immediately begin climbing uphill through a vast forest of aspen and pine trees. Take some time here to appreciate the beauty of the forest and the intermittent views through the breaks in the tree cover, as you climb further up towards the top of the trail.
Eventually, the trail will steepen and you will make the final push up to a beautifully scenic meadow along the Continental Divide Trail. After taking in the views, simply head back along the trail to return to the trailhead.
