| The first section of Fish Creek Trail from Fish Creek Falls Parking Area is wide and smooth providing easy access to the falls viewing area. After crossing the creek, the trail climbs steeply up Fish Creek Canyon. After re-crossing the creek it continues up the canyon towards Long Lake. Just before reaching Long Lake, Mountain View Trail 1032, takes off on the users' right. Many mountain bikers will join this trail which takes them to Storm Peak, instead of the high-use area of Fish Creek Falls.Passing Mountain View Trail 1032, continue east to Long Lake and further east to the Continental Divide, Wyoming Trail #1101. At this point the Fish Creek Falls National Scenic Trail #1102 ends. However, this junction offers many different exit areas if the user wishes. Please refer to the Routt National Forest map for motorized and mechanized trail information.This 7.6 mile trail travels through the Medicine Bow/Routt National Forest. The beginning elevation is 7,440 feet and the ending elevation is 10,000 feet. |
