About this place
Rich Creek Trail provides access into the Buffalo Creek Wilderness Area. Mountain bikes and mechanized equipment are not allowed. This is a great trail for planning a backpacking outing. Following Rich Creek to Buffalo Meadows, and returning via the Rough and Tumbling Creek Trail is an excellent 11 mile loop. Side trips to Buffalo Peaks and nearby fishing becomes a single track (trail 618, Salt Creek Trail) to its intersection with the Tumbling Creek Trail (617). In general, the terrain around Buffalo Peaks is only moderately rugged. Cross-country travel off the trails is not difficult, even to the tops of the peaks.
