Pike Creek dispersed

Firstly, GPS will not take you to the correct spot. Go past Marias Pass and turn onto Pike Creek Rd (right across from Summit Mtn Lodge). The road has several really rough spots, namely deep potholes and large unavoidable dips. Most spot I saw were small pull offs on the road, but there are a few nice pull-through spots. It’s beautiful and quiet the further you get up the road. The spot I snagged was great, but I have the overall spot 3 stars because of the road, the majority of spots being not great, and having zero amenities (which is understandable).

The last review was spot on! The road is a bit rough but manageable and there is a surprising amount of traffic on the road. The Apple Maps gps pin is not correct either, so it took me some detective work to find where I was supposed to be. Once I found the road, the spot was easy to find. It was evident people had been there with a fire ring made of rocks left behind.

I think I ruined some plans for a group of local teens I beat there. I didn’t feel totally comfortable but the spot was undoubtedly gorgeous! It was worth the quick overnight stop.

Road in is in decent condition with some potholes to watch out for. You can definitely hear the highway and the trains, but it's quiet enough.

Oddly, there was a lot of traffic on this first road in the evening, but that could have been a one off.
