East Bellows Trailhead

East Bellows Trailhead at Hanson's Mill offers a well-developed campsite with parking, restrooms, picnic tables, and overnight camping facilities—ideal for horseback users with ample trailer space and nearby grazing areas.

The trailhead provides access to hiking and horseback trails leading to Wheeler Geologic Area and La Garita Wilderness, with fishing opportunities in East Bellows Creek; note that the trail crosses the creek within three miles (potentially wet feet) and is closed to motorized and mountain bike use after the crossing.

The site is typically snow-bound December through May and is located approximately 18 miles from Creede via Pool Table Road (FDR#600).
