Description: The trail starts at the West side of the parking area and follows great singletrack for the first several miles. As the trail curves South it enters a steep canyon and follows the river as it drops towards the town of Hermosa. There are several trails that cross this area, about 6 miles in you'll cross the Salt Creek trail, this has been well labeled in the past. There are some (3) river crossing, most have footbridges, and several small drainages. Hermosa Creek Trail drops about 1,500 feet total with 2 longer climbs occuring towards the end of the ride. This trail is a Point to Point with several options for leaving cars at the trails end. Usually the town of Hermosa is a good place, and you pass it on the way to the trailhead.

This was a good ride, That's me in a couple of those pictures, My friends Mark and Donny, and their girls. The ride was a little short and I had to keep stopping and waiting for them all. But it was descent.

This is close to my favorite ride, I love this ride, LOVE IT! Plan on a full day, you can ride it faster, but you miss out on a lot of other fun, like swimming in the river. Take plenty of water and a full set of tools, Because if you break down, it's a long, hard, walk out. Have Fun.....
