Teepee Creek Trailhead

This Trailhead serves as an access point for the Teepee Creek Trail No. 1173. This 4.4 mile trail climbs through Lodgepole Pine forest before crossing Forest Road 263. The trail then descends Teepee Creek eventually meeting with the Rock Creek Trail No. 1000. Trail No. 1173 then crosses Rock Creek and terminates at the Rock Creek Trailhead.

When combined with forest roads these trails form multiple loops for mountain bikers. See bike trail map for more information.
