Dry Saint Vrain Trail #920 leads gradually downhill for about a mile, as it roughly follows an intermittent tributary of the North Saint Vrain Creek. The last stretch of trail to North Saint Vrain Creek drops quite steeply to the creek bed. North Saint Vrain Creek runs very heavily in the spring and early summer or during periods of heavy rain and may be difficult or impossible to cross.
One mile to the west along North Saint Vrain Creek, Coulson Gulch Trail meets the north side of the creek; and one and a half miles east is Button Rock Reservoir; trails that run parallel to North Saint Vrain Creek are unmaintained social trails.
This trail has been rated "easy" and has moderate usage. Elevation ranges from 6,600 to 7,440 feet on this 3 mile round trip.

Directions: To get to Dry Saint Vrain #920 from Boulder: Travel on Highway 7 to Lyons. From Lyons, head north on CO Highway 7 (a.k.a. South Saint Vrain Canyon) about 15 miles. Just east (within view) of the turnoff for Riverside, which lies on the south side of the highway, watch for a turnoff on the north side marked with a line of mailboxes. Follow that turnoff (this is Forest Development Road 185, but may or may not be signed as such) north up the hill. Turn right at each road intersection, avoiding private property and driveways. It is approximately a mile and a half from Highway 7 to the Dry Saint Vrain Trailhead. It is recommended to have a four-wheel drive vehicle for access to this trailhead.
