About this place

The Grizzly Creek trail begins in Glenwood Canyon and ends 3.5 miles above. The trail travels up from the Colorado River through the canyon cut by Grizzly Creek, following the creek most of the time.The first 1/2 mile of the trail is broad and fairly level offering good spots to have a picnic near the creek. The trail will become narrower and surrounded by dense, lush vegetation, some areas are very rocky at times.The last 1 1/2 miles are steep and covered with loose rocks with good views of Grizzly Creek and Glenwood Canyon near the top.* There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this trail which is complete with directions, a map, details, and other information about this trail.
