Suce Creek

The Suce Creek Trail is a lovely and less-visited route on the edge of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. It’s at it’s best in the fall, when the aspens glow golden in the afternoon light and the leaves form a crunchy carpet on the trail surface. From the trailhead, you’ll wind gently up through scrubby vegetation before diving down into a shady gully, crossing a bridge, and meandering along a rocky but well-maintained path. At the top, you can choose to venture deeper into the mountains or complete the loop back to the trailhead, passing more spectacular aspens along the way. Photo by Bob Hughes
