meadows for the first 0.5 miles before traveling southwesterly up a small
hill, then down to Muddy Creek at mile 1.1. Turning east, Morrison Divide
Trail gradually ascends to an elevation of 8,600'. Dropping down Clear
Creek, the trail then travels back up the east slope of Green Ridge via
several switchbacks. Upon reaching the ridge top (elevation 10,258') the
trail reaches Muddy Slide from the north. |
