About this campground

The Two Peak Trail #521 provides access to the Porter Creek drainage in between Porter Mountain and Two Peak.  The trail travels around the north end of Two Peak, then veers to the south and travels up the Porter Creek drainage on the east side of Two Peak, and finally terminates in Porter Flat off Porter Flats Road, FSR #266 to the south of Two Peak.  The trail travels through a mixture of aspen stands and open meadows on the flank of Two Peak, and has a difficult stream crossing on Porter Creek due to the extensive beaver activity on the creek.  Geo-Ref Trail Map   Geo-Reference Instructions
