The East Lake Creek trail begins at West Lake Creek Road and ends at Upper Camp Lake. This popular trail begins as a well-defined, moderately uphill dirt path through lodge pole pine and aspen with the first 2 miles traveling through damp lush aspen forest with abundant wildflowers down to East Lake Creek. This first 2 miles makes a popular short hike to the wooden bridge over East Lake Creek. After crossing the bridge, the trail is a continuous moderate climb up the east side of East Lake Creek becoming rocky and wet in areas, and can be difficult to follow in spots.
