The U.S. Forest Service announced on Monday, May 12, that the first half-mile of the popular Meadow Creek Trail west of Frisco will be closed throughout most of the summer season.
The opening section of the trail will be closed while crews complete repairs and maintenance. Seeing over 100,000 visitors annually, the Meadow Creek Trail has seen widespread erosion, trail braiding and other impacts. As a result, many sections of the trail have become difficult to hike.
The trail and trailhead will be closed every day from May 19 to June 14 while crews use machinery to build trail foundation and erosion control features. Construction will then continue from June 15 to Aug. 2, but the trail and trailhead will be closed on weekdays only.
The project will be a cooperative effort among the White River National Forest, Eagle Summit Wilderness Alliance, Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Rocky Mountain Youth Corps
