Summary: An interesting hike that takes you to a nice creek
Challenge Level: Easy
Hiking Distance: About 1 1/2 miles each way
Trailhead Directions: From the "Y" (the intersection of State Route 89A and State Route 179), drive south on SR 179 for 14 1/2 miles to Interstate 17. Continue under the Interstate and proceed on Forest Road 618 for 11 3/4 miles to a road on your left. Turn left on this road. Drive about 3 1/3 miles to where the road ends. The trail is beyond the fence.
Description: It's a long drive to the West Clear Creek Trail #17: about 30 miles one-way from the "Y", with the last 13 miles on well-graded dirt roads. The trail is scenic and an easy hike, much of it along the creek and past the ruins of an old ranch.
