North Tenmile Creek Trail
The North Tenmile Creek trail is a 10.8 mile round trip with an elevation gain of approximately 1,676'. From its start in Frisco, Colorado, the trail ascends gradually through aspen trees, then into a pine forest. There are opportunities to continue beyond the end of the trail to peaks or passes, and to connect to the Gore Range Trail.
This trail starts by passing through a narrow valley. In winter, it is advisable to check the avalanche report. Wichita Mountain is almost immediately to the left (south) at the start of the trail, and Little Chief Mountain is to the right (north). Farther up the trail is Chief Mountain to the right (north). If you continue past the Gore Range Trail, the trail ends 5.4 miles after the parking area.
Getting There:
From I-70, take exit 201. The parking area is on the west side of the highway.
