Trail Info
REMARKS:
The Wood River Trails Coalition and Ketchum Ranger District are happy to announce the Greenhorn Improvements Project Phase 1 is complete! The new rerouted sections of Greenhorn and Imperial trails are open, and the restoration efforts in the riparian area, former bridge sites and trail sections are finished. A total of 3,000 native plants have been planted! The new, and only, way to access the main Greenhorn trail and Imperial trail is from the west side of the parking lot, in the trailer turnaround, where the Cow Creek connector trail is also located. Please stay off of the rehabilitated areas so the newly planted plants can flourish, the beavers can do their thing, and we can lessen our impact in the area. Thank you to everyone for being understanding this summer during all of the project work!

Description / Access Information
Cow Creek Shortcut Tr. #930: This trail provides a link between the east leg of the Cow Creek Trail No. 180 and the Cow Creek Connector Tr. No. 153. The trail contours through several small aspen groves tucked into a spring-fed basin. There are great views of the fire-scarred Mahoney Butte across the valley. This is also a great hike to appreciate and photograph the aspens turning yellow in the fall.Directions to the Greenhorn Trailhead: At the intersection of Highway 75 and Greenhorn Road (at the Greenhorn/East Fork traffic signal, which is about 5 miles south of Ketchum, and approx. 6 miles north of Hailey) go west to follow the Greenhorn Gulch Road for 3.7 miles to its end at the Greenhorn Trailhead.
