Hero: Frenchman Creek

Frenchman Creek is a narrow, winding trail that climbs into the San Isabel National Forest and approaches the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness. The official trail on the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) ends at a random, unmarked spot with little room to turn around. However, the road on the ground physically keeps going much further than the MVUM route shows.

There are no notable obstacles on this trail, but there are a few steep sections that reach a maximum of 15 degrees of incline. The trail also has several spots that squeeze between trees, which could pose a problem for larger vehicles and full-size trucks.

There were a handful of campsites along the trail.
