About this campground
This route starts at Red Sandstone Road and ends at the Eiseman Hut: The trail begins at the Forest Service road closure on Red Sandstone Road #700. It follows this road for 3 miles to the junction with Lost Lake Road #786. Turn right here and follow for 1.35 miles to Middle Creek Road on the right. Middle Creek Road meanders another 4.7 miles to the Eiseman Hut. Snowmobilers need to be aware that motorized vehicles are not allowed within 1/4 mile of any of the district’s 10th Mountain Division Huts. Due to its distance from the parking area (18.1 miles round trip) this trail receives less use towards the top and is suggested for skiers in good physical condition.
