You rarely see the creek, but at this late in the season it seems to be pretty easy to find. You cross the creek once at the top, and then there is a steep slope and then it evens out a bit.<br /><br />Thanks for your original report!rossmuellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836052505534130337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955599134695240379.post-22651772160271212702014-09-08T14:31:33.930-06:002014-09-08T14:31:33.930-06:00Here's a good account of the ten mile traverse...Here's a good account of the ten mile traverse that i found when i was looking into doing Peak 1 to Miners creek loop.<br /><br />http://www.runnersworld.com/rt-columns/ten-mile-traverserossmuellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836052505534130337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955599134695240379.post-34279721206566649482012-10-28T21:18:31.019-06:002012-10-28T21:18:31.019-06:00Finally hiked this loop successfully summer of 201...Finally hiked this loop successfully summer of 2012.

At least that is what my map above suggests. But if I recall, there was no way to go down except by walking in the creek.

Lots of bushwhacking until I reconnected downstream, but still stumped as to where the actual trail goes after that creek crossing. So, yes, I echo the sentiment of doing this counter-clockwise for those uninitiated with the trail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955599134695240379.post-20109517884633503862012-07-16T20:56:43.820-06:002012-07-16T20:56:43.820-06:00Thanks.

I remember your report from last year, it ultimately pushed us into giving up on our Gore Range backpacking plans and going further south. Quite a difference this year.<br /><br />The video was great.

I never could figure out where the trail actually went. Looking at your map, it must skirt down the creek a ways. Nice run, going to be strong for LT.Gangelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075418599300511906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955599134695240379.post-31669823710924198352012-07-12T08:59:06.843-06:002012-07-12T08:59:06.843-06:00Oh just wait until I post tonight about my run up ...Oh just wait until I post tonight about my run up Buffalo Mountain the next day. Surely, I couldn't get lost two days in a row...on trails that I should know like the back of my hand!<br /><br />Mtnrun2 - I can't believe you kept going up Buffalo that day! That trail is ridiculously steep. Probably one of the steepest I've encountered in a long time!Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677463549607656479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955599134695240379.post-68544094627518690552012-07-12T08:42:54.981-06:002012-07-12T08:42:54.981-06:00I was laughing, thinking how in the hell does Wood...I was laughing, thinking how in the hell does Woody get lost on that trail. My memory had me executing a perfect trail day last year when I ran the loop (counter-clockwise, by the way). Then, I see Mtnrunner2's comment above and remembered that I went about a mile up the Buffalo Mountain Trail before running into two women who informed me I was on the wrong trail.<br /><br />I agree going counter-clockwise is the way to go. That way you get the beetle killed forest out of the way early, and then it's all glorious alpine and sub-alpine fun.Jim P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06566980370651311505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955599134695240379.post-46651639501872541682012-07-11T22:01:20.285-06:002012-07-11T22:01:20.285-06:00Great post, you are becoming a Dillon area Jedi.

I was actually trying to get to Eccles when I accidentally did a run up Buffalo Mtn. this spring, after taking a wrong turn off the Buffalo Cabin Trail. Lol. It was fun, I recommend it when you're in the mood for something steep.<br /><br />The video is great too. Beautiful morning and terrain.mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.com
