Welcome to the Hermosa Creek Trail! This path is a real classic that you shouldn't miss. Simply book a shuttle with Hermosa Tours and be chauffeured to the Upper Hermosa Creek Trailhead, the starting point of this great adventure.

The almost 39 kilometer long Hermosa Creek Trail leads along the river of the same name, over alpine meadows and through dense forests. There are lots of fast passages, all sorts of tough uphills and short, rapid descents that always provide an adrenaline rush - just the thing for adventurous bikers.

The Hermosa Creek Trail is really tough, especially at the end. So don't waste all the grains right at the beginning and save a few reserves for the big finale. Once you arrive at Lower Hermosa Campground, your trip ends on this beautiful singletrack trail.
