Rio Nambe Loop

Want some solitude from the busy Winsor Trail? Take a left a bit after Wilderness Gate and head down the Lower Nambe Trail, or as we like to call it: The Elevator. This descent through a post-burn aspen grove is steep with loose sandy soil and high likelihood for downed trees. After holding on for dear life down The Elevator you are rewarded with a chance to ice your aching knees in Rio Nambe. Afterwards you climb up through the rarely used Rio Nambe Trail following the beautiful stream until you return to the Winsor and head on back home.
