About this trail
Roaring Creek is an 11.8-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the town of Colorado, managed by the White River National Forest Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District. The trail follows Roaring Creek through a scenic corridor in the White River National Forest. This moderate-distance hike offers hikers the opportunity to explore a creek-side environment in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. The out-and-back format allows flexibility in turnaround distance, making it accessible for various skill levels. Hikers can choose to complete the full mileage or opt for a shorter trip by returning at any point along the trail. The trail is maintained by the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District, which oversees recreation management for this area of the White River National Forest. This region is popular for summer hiking when snow melt makes the creek particularly active and scenic. For current conditions, trail maintenance updates, and any seasonal closures, contact the Eagle-Holy Cross Ranger District directly.
