My husband, now deceased,took me on this trail when we were newlywed. He grew up in Parker. While hiking that day, I nearly stepped on a copperhead. He stopped me right before my foot dropped. He had been there many times as a kid and thank goodness, knew what to watch for. Thanks for taking me back. Beautiful land.
I've been meaning to re-hike that very section. I went through there summer 2022 and had all sorts of camera trouble. By the time I got to all those amazing swimmin' holes only my cheap Kodak was working, and I got caught in a thunderstorm. I kept the video unlisted as it wasn't up to my standards. Checking google maps, Bears Mouth Bridge is over "North Branch Bear Creek", which flows out into Bear Creek proper. The NCT to Dead Crow Bridge follows the North Branch. I love the name Eldorado Road since Eldorado was my favorite John Wayne movie!
