Grouse Mountain Trail #205

Dogs Unknown

Features Fall Colors

This trail connects the USFS trailhead (Grouse Mountain) to the BLM picnic area and trailhead at Mosier Gulch (connects to the Clear Creek Trail), via a long, continuous descent with many switchbacks.

At the top, watch for where the signed singletrack trail diverges from doubletrack and begins its descent. The top portion is mostly open, with a few quick ducks into aspen forests and small rivulet crossings. Watch for a fence/gate part way down which you'll run through and continue. The lower portion is mostly in the coniferous woods and has many very steep/tight switchbacks.

The trail exits the woods near the dam/spillway. Take the gravel road northeast (left) to the Mosier Gulch day-use area.
