Creek is a short, easy hike in the Pagosa Ranger District of San Juan National Forest in southwest Colorado, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about a mile long, with a one-way gain of 73 feet, and it makes an out-and-back route from its low point of 7,535 feet to a high of 7,606 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Vallecito Dam weather station, about 26 miles away and nearly the same elevation, run from highs near 77°F in June to around 81°F in July, with winter highs near 38°F and regular snow days from December through March. Bikes are allowed on this natural-surface trail, and the Lower Rim hike and the Lower Rim (#309) mountain biking route both lie within a third of a mile. Happy Camper RV Park is about 3 miles away, and Pagosa Pines RV Park is roughly 4.6 miles off.
