Hermosa Creek Wilderness

Hermosa Creek Wilderness spans nearly 37,350 acres of federally protected backcountry in Colorado. This is primitive, non-motorized terrain managed by the Forest Service—no roads, motors, or mechanized travel are permitted. Visitors come here for hiking, backpacking, and the solitude that comes with genuine wilderness travel.

Access requires foot traffic only. The landscape and exact trail network are not detailed in available facts, so plan using current Forest Service maps and contact the managing office for current conditions. Expect high-country terrain typical of Colorado's backcountry, with seasonal snow and weather that can shift rapidly, especially in shoulder seasons and winter.
