Jackson County Colorado Hiking Trails
Buffalo Ridge Trail #1151
|
|
Routt National Forest
Available for hiking, biking, and
horseback riding, the 8.1 mile Buffalo Ridge Trail lies within Mt.
Zirkel Wilderness. Buffalo Ridge Trail climbs steeply almost to the top of
Buffalo Ridge where it offers panoramic view of the Davis Creek drainage,
Stump Park and Davis Peak. Continuing down to Stump Park, Buffalo Ridge
Trail crosses Beaver Creek Trail #1124
and begins the steep climb up Davis Peak. Buffalo Ridge Trail becomes
difficult to follow as it crosses the open saddle just east of the peak.
