Trail Overview

Lime Creek Road follows the beautiful Lime Creek steep with history going back to a hunting trail used by the Ute Indians, to prospectors/pioneers converting the trail to a road in the late 1880s to access Silverton mines and later on improved by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's. The overall road is not difficult, but please beware the road is very narrow in some sections and there are very few turnaround spots or pull offs for passing.

I marked it deteriorated only because additional rocks had fallen down in some of the most narrow sections making it even more narrow. It might be troublesome for longer wheelbase vehicles. The Aspen trees are very vibrant now! Beautiful area!

Did his trail two years ago and it has deteriorated since. Much rockier than I remember and rockfalls if several places have narrowed the road.

Easy and quick run road. High clearance suggested. You can easily miss the hiking trail to the waterfall. Nice pretty drive
