About this place

The Fancy Creek trail is about 4.5 miles long. It begins at Forest Road #704, passes Fancy Lake, and ends at Treasure Vault Lake: The trail begins with switchbacks up a forested slope. Then you will cross Fancy Creek over the Zen Bridge and hike a more moderate section. At about mile 2.6, the trail crosses a small, lush meadow then steepens on the climb to the lake. From the lake, it is a steep climb and descent over Fancy Pass to Treasure Vault Lake.* There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this trail which is complete with directions, a map, details, and other information about this trail.
