Sargents to Creede:
93 miles 14k ft. of elevation gain
The day begins in Sargents head back out of town the same way but turn right after the gate. The climb up Dutchman Creek can be wet and challenging. Rejoin The Colorado Trail. Cross Highway 114 to continue on CT which intermittently becomes a road. Stay on FS 787 and pass Stone Cellar Campground. Continue on several rough roads to Bowers Peak Trail. Join the faint La Garita Stockway Trail, use your GPS and STAY ON TRAIL. Join Pool Table Road which goes to Highway 149. Turn right to go into Creede. This town offers fuel, food, and lodging. The Snowshoe Motel is a great option.
