Trail Overview

Hurricane Creek is a one-way trail you enter from the westbound lane of Interstate 40. The trail gets tight in many areas; there is not enough room to turn around. You will encounter steep drops on one side, with a steep bank on the other. There are water crossings and tight, twisty, rocky trails. The scenery is fantastic, and many other trails are nearby.

Difficulty

We encountered a few places where a spotter may be required. Slippery rock with steep embankments that will cause rollovers if the incorrect line is chosen. Most of the trail is fairly easy except for a few minor spots, where slippery rock due to rain.
