Bear Creek Trail – Winter

Cappie’s Scoop: This trail brings you to a waterfall and it was frozen in the winter! Mom and I tried to get closer but then mom sank in the snow up to her knees. Mom didn’t have snowshoes and I don’t know if I could’ve made it because I’m shorter than mom. So we looked at the falls from far away and headed back. On the way back, some hoomans on skiis went zooming by me! Wow, they are so fast! Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!

Tips: Bear Creek trail winds its way through the 325 acre Bear Creek Preserve. The trail ends at Bear Creek Falls and passes the Wasatch trail on your right which provides some loop routes. We did an out and back this time. This trail is filled with aspen trees which is probably gorgeous in the fall. We hiked in the winter and found a frozen waterfall and brave mountain skiers coming from over the mountain!

Directions: Trail starts at the south end of Pine Street in downtown Telluride and the coordinates are for the trailhead. Parking is available nearby on the street but not at the trailhead.
