Forest Service

Tabeguache Creek is a 10.2-mile loop trail located in Colorado near the Colorado area, managed by the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest through the Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District. This loop route offers hikers a moderate outing through forest and creek environments characteristic of the northern Colorado Rocky Mountains. The trail traverses the Tabeguache Creek drainage, providing access to riparian areas and montane forest typical of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. As a loop configuration, the trail returns to its starting point, making it convenient for day hikers who prefer not to shuttle vehicles. The Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest manages this area for multiple-use recreation, including hiking, camping, and fishing opportunities. The Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District office can provide current trail conditions and any seasonal closures that may affect access. Hikers should verify current trail conditions before visiting, as mountain terrain in this region can change seasonally. Check with the managing ranger district for updates on maintenance status and any recent weather impacts to the route.
