Local legend has it that the creek got its name when an early fall blizzard trapped a local rancher's cattle. When the local cowhands got through the heavy snow, they found that all of the cattle had starved to death in the deep snow. Hence, the name "Starvation Creek". This is a pretty trail and a easy hike that winds up to the Continental Divide for 6.5 miles. The last .5 miles of the trail turns into a two-track road before it reaches the top of the Divide. This trail is closed by heavy snow from November until May. The Starvation Creek trail winds its way to the Divide and offers hikers some beautiful views. A camera is a must for this hike! NOTE: Hikers should be aware that this is a multi-use trail and the trail is a popular with mountain bikes so watch and listen for other users. Check out the Official Route.
