Cow Creek Connector is part of an extensive trail network between Cumberland Pass and Cottonwood Pass in the Taylor Park region of the Gunnison National Forest. The trail is appropriately named since it parallels Cow Creek and often has cows on the trail. It also connects to various other area trails.
The trail climbs and stays out of the trees just enough to offer scenic views of the area. This trail features both a short and steep climb and a rutted-out section, earning it a moderate difficulty rating. Cow Creek Connector is suitable for stock high-clearance 4WD vehicles.
There are no campsites along this trail.
