Trail Description:
This is a long mult-use singls track trail that follows a creek. It is fairly easy as it is mostly down hill from the Purgatory area back to Hermosa.

How to get there:
Turn off of the Million Dollar highway at Purgatory Ski area and go through the ski area. The dirt road through the ski area crosses over a ridge and follows a beautiful valley down hill. A few miles down the valley you will see the sign for the trail head to your left where the valley stream connects to Hermosa creek.
