The forest service has now marked the route and named it &#8220;Italian Connector&#8221; #648, which may show up on newer maps.  It&#8217;s a great trail and one that we constantly recommend.  If nothing else, it gets you above treeline, and that&#8217;s always worth it.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2144.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2266.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There isn&#8217;t a whole lot more left to say about this one- so enjoy the photos, there are some good ones in this scenic area.<br \/>\n<!--more Read more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/3485.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Impromptu race to the top:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/3494.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2140.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>woohoo!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/3502.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2165.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2203.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/3539.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/3561.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2242.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/3605.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The pictures don&#8217;t do this section justice- it&#8217;s steep!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2271.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2273.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/3649.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Until next time, we&#8217;ll just keep on descending til the trail ends&#8230;<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/upper-spring-creek-xx\/2282.jpg?i=294577617\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/www.avantlink.com\/link.php?ml=28933&amp;p=23393&amp;pw=29053\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a couple of years since we last visited this trail, which I suppose could be called &#8220;Spring Creek&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-biking","category-crested-butte"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5961"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5961\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5965,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5961\/revisions\/5965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/14erskiers.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
