small-sr Icon

With stunning mountain vistas, crystal clear creek crossings, lush meadows of wildflowers of every color imaginable, and a plethora of camping opportunities, Cement Creek is one of those trails that has it all. Located just south of Crested Butte, this trail will take you up to an elevation of almost 12,500 feet, just below the summit of Mount Tilton. Along the way, you will have the chance to hike, mountain bike, fish, and camp. Spend the night in one of the 23 designated campsites along the way. Sites 1-9 will be accessible by a 2WD/AWD vehicle, but the rest of the trail will require 4WD with a transfer case to safely get to the top. At the very top, you can expect a few steep, narrow, off-camber shelf portions, but if you can handle the anxiety, the summit will treat you to 360-degree views of the scenery that this area of Colorado is famous for.
