Middle Mineral Creek,Segment 21, Colorado Trail, CO by Tim Stewart Via Flickr: CO (Hinsdale County) Day 6 random campsite (Segment 20) to random campsite (Segment 21) The trail eventually drops down to 11,944 feet at San Luis Pass which is the end of Segment 20. The small town of Creede is accessible via a dirt road from here but not easily. It is about 10 miles away. After the Pass, Segment 21 begins. The trail has a couple of good climbs and nearly reaches 13,000 feet at another saddle (12, 887'). Once again was able to enjoy hiking some 1/2 fish bowls. All of this above treeline. The Colorado Trail is notorious for afternoon thunderstorms. Typically, it is best to not be caught above treeline for obvious reasons. Fortunately, once again the weather was fantastic with blue skies everywhere. 2 days in a row must be a record for CO. After a convenient dinner break at Middle Mineral Creek, I began searching for a campsite. I didn't search for long and didn't have far to go to find a decent spot below treeline. 12.9 miles of awesome hiking with spectacular views today.
