Goose Creek Trail

The Goose Creek Trail immediately makes a shallow crossing of Roaring Fork Creek and then drops sharply through thick aspen stands to the Goose Creek Bottom. The trail crosses the mouth of Fisher Creek and proceeds up the scattered finger-like parks and patches of timber common to the Goose Creek bottom.

The trail grade is gradual for most of the 11 miles that it parallels Goose Creek. The trail begins to make a fairly steep 1 mile climb out of the upper treeless slopes of Goose Creek to the divide between Goose Creek and Little Goose Lake. After a short, steep descent toward Little Goose Lake, the trail ends at the junction with the Fisher creek Trail (Forest Trail 826). For its entire length, the trail is easy to follow, with a well-defined tread but the four river crossings can be difficult to negotiate in the spring.

Good camping areas abound along the Goose Creek Trail. Opportunities to see elk are very good in the upper reaches of the drainage.

This 12.9 mile one-way trail has a beginning elevation of 9,600 feet and an ending elevation of 12,400 feet. This trail is rated as "easy-moderate" and receives "moderate" usage.
