San Juan National Forest

Pagosa Ranger District

ACCESS: Turn north off U.S. Hwy 160 just west of Pagosa Springs onto Piedra Rd. (CR 600, which becomes FS Rd. #631). Follow for about 26 mi. (the first 6 mi. are paved, the rest is gravel).

DIRECTIONS: The trail (marked #587 on the SJNF Recreation Map) follows Williams Creek north into the Weminuche Wilderness. Motorized vehicles and mountain bikes are not allowed. There is a steep climb after the first .5 mi., but the rest is gradual. The Indian Creek Trail takes off to your right at the 2.5 mi. point. At 3 mi., the trail passes through what looks like a huge walled garden with unique rock formations. It then continues 11 mi. to the Continental Divide.
