I've posted a few times to this blog about my favorite early season hike. Because it's relatively exposed, and tops out at only 9,000 feet, the Avalanche Creek trail is a great one to do when the others are muddy or choked with snow fields.
We saw a number of folks out enjoying the trail yesterday, as it was a Saturday and the weather was great. Here are a few shots showing the scenery and high water.

The Avalanche Creek trail begins at the eastern end of the USFS Avalanche campground, several miles east of highway 133, between Redstone and Carbondale, Colorado.
