Trail Overview
Whiskey Creek is a 9-mile fun and challenging single track on the border of Wyoming and Colorado. Much of this narrow trail is very rocky. It has lots of rock ledges and root ledges with big boulders in the trail, and some really narrow sections of side-hilling. The trail is mostly flat and runs by a creek with not much elevation gain, but it does have some steeper climbs and descents with loose dirt and lots of boulders. It goes through a really scenic landscape in the Routt National Forest through big open meadows and a pine and aspen tree forest. There are tons of downed trees that are mostly cut, but there is always potential for newly downed logs. There's one rocky creek crossing. The trail has three sections separated by dirt roads, but they are signed well at each entrance. The westernmost section is the rockiest. The middle section has one big rock ledge obstacle which is a huge boulder ledge in the middle of the trail. This obstacle is easier to do if going east to west because you will go down it instead of up it. The easternmost section is the easiest. Overall it's a very fun and technical trail, and one of the harder trails in the trail system.
