Creekside / Flume Loop (Easy and one of our favorites with the dogs and best view of Byers Peak) DISTANCE: 5 MILES ROUND TRIP ELEVATION: 9,000’ Trailhead Location: From the Winter Park Information Center, follow US Highway 40 north to the Fraser Valley Center traffic light and turn left onto CR72. Turn right on CR721 (Fraser Parkway) and follow to the “T” intersection. Turn left onto CR73. Continue toward the St. Louis Creek campground and park. Trail Description: Begin at St. Louis Creek campground. The trailhead for Creekside is on the north side of the parking area. If you have gone into the campground you have gone too far. Creekside will end on FS road 159. Turn left and look for Flume trail slightly uphill and on your left. Enter Flume, which is a heavily wooded forest and at times gives way to open meadows. The Flume trail gets its name from an old logging flume, which it parallels. The trail will go through some aspens before reaching the scenic overlook bench. Take time to enjoy the view of Byers Peak and St. Louis Creek. Shortly after the scenic overlook is a trail junction. Straight ahead is Chainsaw, turn left and the trail will take you across St. Louis Creek. Turn left after the bridge and follow an old road back to the campground.

The Fraser Experimental Forest is a great place to start an off-the-beaten-path adventure. This area is usable all year round for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and cross country skiing. It's gorgeous and not many people know about it, so let's keep it our secret, okay?
