The Rolling Creek Trail has lots of ups and downs as it winds its way through shaded forests and open meadows with the gurgling sound of water flowing through the creek. It offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys with great views of The Castle near Wellington Lake. There are nice scenic spots along the way. We’ll hike from the trailhead to the boundary of the Lost Creek Wilderness or a little further if the group is interested, the weather cooperates and our legs and lungs allow. As a minimum, expect hiking 5.5 miles with 700 feet of elevation gain. It’s all on trail and is an out and back hike. A weather report will be furnished by email a few days before the hike.
