May Creek Trail parallels meandering May Creek along the edge of lush creek banks and over wildflower filled meadows to May Creek Cabin. The trail is most frequently used as an out-and-back to access May Creek Cabin in both Summer and Winter. It can also be used to create a loop with trails in the area after it climbs from the creek to meet the Continental Divide Trail (CDT).
May Creek Trail begins in May Creek Campground at the gate near campsite #14 and is 2 miles to the Cabin. Another 2.5 miles beyond the cabin, the trail leaves the gentle creek bottom and climbs to follow a wooded ridge to its junction with the Anderson Mountain Road and the CDT.
