Texas Creek is a 6-mile out-and-back hike in Colorado's Sangre de Cristo Wilderness, within the San Carlos Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests. The trail climbs from about 9,200 feet to 11,441 feet, a gain of 2,306 feet, and is rated hard. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route is on natural surface, with horses allowed. The trip is open year-round, and the wilderness setting makes it a destination for those prepared for a long, steep day. Swift Creek and Lake of the Clouds are both about 2 miles away, and the Sangre de Cristo Range climbing area is roughly 5 miles off. For an overnight base, Alvarado Campground sits about 7 miles from the trail.
