Salt Park is a hard hike in the Yampa Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Colorado, managed by the Forest Service. The route is an out-and-back of about 22.6 miles, with a one-way climb of roughly 3,150 feet from a low point of about 8,420 feet to a high of about 10,214 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows both horses and bikes, so it works for riders and pack animals as well as hikers. That makes it a flexible option for a longer trip with more than one way to move across the route. Corral Creek, a mountain biking trail, sits just 0.3 miles away, and Wilson Mesa, a hike, is about 1.2 miles off. Berry Lake, another mountain biking trail, is about 1.3 miles away. For an overnight stay, North Fork Campground is about 7.1 miles from the trail.
