The Schultz Creek Trail follows the course of the old Schultz Pass Road and the Schultz Creek. It is an easy going trail with soft soil and few rocks. There are many interesting wildflowers and fields throughout the mixture of pine, aspen, furs and willows of the creek side.

The trail is not only a hiking trail, but actually an old motorcycle trail which is frequented by mountain bikers, hikers and horse riders alike. The trail is always close to the road, which along with the traffic, are the only aspects taking away from the natural feel of the trail. The trails has many creek crossings so those who love water will not be disappointed during the Spring/monsoon season.
