Deer Creek Trailhead (Bailey, CO)

The Deer Creek Trailhead provides access to the Tanglewood Trail, which leads into the Mount Evans Wilderness Area and connects with the Rosalie Trail. The Tanglewood Trail begins in the southeast corner of the Wilderness Area and climbs north into a saddle on the boundary between the Pike and Arapaho national forests. From that point, the trail continues north as the Roosevelt Lakes Trail and eventually ties into the trails on the east side of the Wilderness. Immediately east of the saddle (towards Rosedale Peak), area a series of pointed rock outcroppings called “Pegmatite Points.” The upper portions of the trail are above treeline.
