Trail Overview

Clear Creek is a scenic out-and-back trail that follows a rocky creek bed. It is somewhat stock vehicle-friendly with correct line choices, but there are some slick rock ledges and harder lines if you want more adventure. Be mindful of pooled water areas where flow is not as apparent; this is a sign of deeper water. The deepest area is around 2 feet but can catch you by surprise if you're not paying attention to your surroundings. The water level will vary depending on rainfall levels. There's a solid rock bottom with crystal-clear water. A short walk of 50 yards past the end of the trail, you will find a pool of water deep enough to cool off in on a hot summer day.
