The trail climbs steeply in sections to the junction with the Spruce Creek Trail.Take the right fork up the hill. The Spruce Creek Trail is straight ahead. The trail continues to climb crossing the creek four times before reaching the ridge between the Woody Creek and Hunter Creek drainages. The trail follows the ridge, then descends to Deer Park. From here the trail winds to the junction with the Hunter Creek Trail. A right at this junction provides for a loop back to Lenado. If you want to continue to Aspen follow the Hunter Creek Trail.
