Miners Creek TH #38 the Forest Service's write-up

This trail starts near the town of Frisco and eventually takes you up and over the Tenmile Range and junctions with the Wheeler National Recreation Trail which ends at Copper Mountain. This is a great one way trail if you can do a vehicle shuttle or take the free Summit Stage Bus. The alpine scenery is amazing and you can enjoy 360 degree views once on top of the Tenmile Range.

This area is part of the 53,804-acre Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument, designated by Presidential Proclamation on Oct 12, 2022 to protect its important prehistoric, historic, natural and recreational values.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
