If you remember to look backwards, you might spot a glimpse of the gold top of the Great Stupa at the Shambhala Mountain Center between the trees. The trail is heavily rutted in areas, thanks to springtime runoff. A couple of rough boards span a gap between some boulders and keep you high and dry.Īfter crossing the creek, expect a lot of uphill hiking. To avoid wading, watch for a social trail to the right just before the willows.
If you follow the obvious trail to Elkhorn Creek, the calf-deep crossing can be cold.
The Lady Moon Trail #985 opened in 2010 when the Lady Moon Trail was extended south to Boy Scout Road it seems to get less use than some of the other Red Feather area trailheads.
