A real jewel of a secluded campground overlooking a picturesque valley

Creek and Blue Creek with variety of hiking trails exist in the area including
Big Blue Trail, Fall Creek Trail, Ridge Stock Driveway Trail and Alpine Trail.
Most of these trails lead south into the wilderness where mechanized and
motorized travel is not allowed. The landscape is mostly aspen and spruce
trees.
