Gore Creek #2015

The Gore Creek Trail trail begins at Bighorn Road in East Vail and ends at the Gore Range Trail #60 on the Dillon Ranger District: The first 4 miles of the trail climbs alongside Gore Creek. There are some short steep sections along the way. The trail winds through meadows and aspen groves which change to conifer stands as the elevation increases. At mile 4, the trail forks; straight ahead goes over Red Buffalo Pass to Summit County, the left fork goes to Gore Lake. From the fork, the trail climbs though spruce and fir forest into the alpine tundra to Gore Lake. The trail is steeper in this section. * There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this trail [../../../../../../../../../../Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5186353.pdf] which is complete with directions, a map, details, and other information about this trail.
