Map + Directions

Basic Directions
  • This is an easy trail which gradually loses elevation as it follows the South St. Vrain Creek downstream for 1.9 miles.
  • The trail meets up with FDR 252, a very rough 4WD road, seldom used by motorized vehicles. It climbs steeply 0.5 miles northwest to a four way intersection from which it is a steep half mile to the left up to Miller Rock. The Miller Rock Spur cuts off the corner, coming in to the main road southwest of Miller Rock.
  • An unmaintained social trail continues along the creek for several more miles, but be aware that there is no way to exit the canyon other than to retrace your steps back to the trailhead.
  • The section of the maintained trail from the Ceran St. Vrain Traihead to Miller Rock is becoming increasingly popular with mountain biking, so please watch for other users.
  • Dispersed camping is permitted in the area. Please camp at least 200 feet from the trailhead, trail and creek.
