Primitive Goose Creek Hike

Hosting GSMDCA Recognized Regional Club

Greater Swiss Mountain Dog Club of the Rockies

Date(s) of Pack Hike

June 24-25, 2023

Event Name

Primitive Goose Creek

Hike Location/Address/Directions/Map

Directions: From Denver, take 285 S. to Pine Junction. Head south on 126 (Pine Valley Road) to the Historic Pine Townsite. Continue south on 126 (Deckers Road) until you reach Cheesman Reservoir and turn west onto 211 Wigwam Creek Road. This good dirt road enters the Hayman Fire Burn Area. After driving up the hill, turn right (west) onto Goose Creek Road. Follow Goose Creek Road until it ends. There will some intersections but there are also signs pointing the way. At the end of Goose Creek Road, you’ll find the Goose Creek Trailhead and Parking Area.

Brief Trail Description

The Goose Creek Trail (#612) provides access into the southeast portion of the Lost Creek Wilderness. The trail winds north and eventually ends in Wigwam Park at a junction with the Wigwam Trail (#609). The Goose Creek Trail offers primitive camping, fishing in Goose Creek, and views of red Pikes Peak granite formations. A popular day hike is up the lower Goose Creek Trail to a side trail leading to several historic buildings and the remains of a shaft house. These old buildings and machinery date back to the late 1800’s/early 1900’s when a company attempted without success to create a reservoir by sealing the underground channel of the Lost Creek. Above the shafthouse, the creek is Lost Creek, but it emerges from underground just south of the shafthouse as Goose Creek.
