Mammoth Trip, 2026

September 14

Pine Creek Trail



5.1 km and 286 m elevation gain in 2 hours total time.



A short drive up to the end of Pine Creek Canyon is the trailhead of the Pine Creek Trail. We had only spent two hours at La Escuela, so it was still early, and we had wisely planned for this contingency by bringing along our hiking gear as well as our climbing gear.

And Bill had sketches of a plan in his head. -F.
