Site Description:
This trail offers an easy days hike along an open alpine ridge that has spectacular panoramic views of the Creston valley. The trailhead begins at the height of land at the communications structures or small campsite area.
Driving Directions:
From downtown Creston, take Highway 3 to the East to the Canyon-Lister road junction on the right. Turn right and follow the road for 1km to Whimster Road on the left. Take Whimster Road for 0.7km to the start of Mt. Thompson FSR. Proceed onto this FSR, and where the road forks into 3, take the central road (gravel plant on right). Stay right at the first junction at 1km, right at 4.1km, and straight at 5.6km. When you reach the communications buildings at 10.9km, stay right at the camping sign and follow to small campsite. You will see trail head sign on left. Note: The road is very steep and rough in sections; 4wd high clearance vehicle is recommended. Typically the last 5km of FSR near the top is snow free by mid June.
