Around Town – Clear Creek Trail System
Clear Creek Trail System offers 7 miles of multi-use, maintained trails winding it’s way along Clear Creek. Starting on the east side of Buffalo, you can join the trail system all the way through town, including Main Street, Burritt and Klondike Road.
This trail winds all the way up towards Mosier Gulch, where it meets up with the Mentok trail which takes you into Mosier Gulch and up to Grouse Mountain.
Hiking:
This trail is especially great for an easy walk. Mostly flat, there are benches along the way to sit down and take in the beautiful views.
Snowshoeing:
Hit the trails at Buffalo Golf Club (also used for cross country skiing). Groomed and maintained, this little gem is just minutes from downtown and is complete with dining & drinks.

Follow this all the way up Mosier Gulch, or up to the face of Grouse Mountain and over via switchbacks for an intermediate to advanced ride. Learn more on our blog – Fat Tire Fantasy in the Bighorns
