About
The Nichols Creek Trail begins at South Fork Trail #1827 [https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recarea/?recid=40823] and ends at Lost Solar Trail #1828 [https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recarea/?recid=40793]. The trail rises steeply out of South Fork Meadows, then the terrain levels off as the trail continues .25 miles to the Park Creek junction. From here, it gains elevation gradually for another mile as the trail passes through open parks bordered by stands of Englemann Spruce. The last mile of the trail travels through beetle-killed spruce until it reaches the Lost Solar Trail #1828 [https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recarea/?recid=40793] below Lost Solar Park.
