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.

Getting there

Drive approximately 7 miles west of Aspen on Highway 82 to the Woody Creek turnoff (about 1 mile past the Brush Creek Road turnoff to Snowmass Village). Turn right following the road downhill. After crossing the bridge bear left and continue 2 miles to the town of Woody Creek. Just past the town take a sharp right onto Woody Creek Road #18 or FDR road #103.Continue on this road 8 1/2 miles to the town of Lenado. Approximately 3/4 of a mile past Lenado the road makes a sharp left turn and crosses Woody Creek. The Woody Creek Trailheadlies on the right side of the road, just before the bridge. The Spruce Creek Trailhead also begins on the Woody Creek Trail.
