Hike: Castle Creek Valley

Our Green World Day Hike has it all; after a jaunt through the silver mining ghost town of Ashcroft, the trail wanders up along Castle Creek to wildflower meadows and spectacular big sky views. Experience Maroon Bells-type scenery without the big crowds. This tour includes a gourmet lunch at the famed Pine Creek Cookhouse, which can either be a price fixe for $38 or you may order a la carte off of the menu.
