Reviewed by Laurel on 4/30/2007 Hiked this in late April. Still some snow along the trail and a little muddy in spots, but over all thoroughly enjoyed! You might share the trail with the occasional ATV, but the view of Oxford Peak was awesome! Bring wading shoes as the first half of the trail crosses Cherry Creek several times.
