Description

This map starts at the main parking area, but numerous parking spots can be found along Falls Creek Road (County Road 205). There are also many, many east-west connector trails in this valley.

Starting from the main parking area, head directly north through the grassy fields. The trail alternates between narrow 2-track and slightly wider singletrack, and is sometimes a bit rutted. The trail feels mostly flat but does rise gently to the north. Along the way, you'll see late summer sunflowers and maybe a few mini-lupine plants.

The views to the south are of Animas Mountain's cliffs, the views to the east are of the hogback that separates Fall Creek Valley from Animas Valley, and the pink and white rocky outcrops to the west make up the Logchutes plateau area.
