Trail Info
REMARKS:
Many of the lower Greenhorn trails and dry. You will find some snow and muddy conditions where the trails move into trees and on some north facing aspects, especially as you go higher.
Wood River Trail Coalition reports that the WRTC's Greenhorn Improvements Project in collaboration with the USFS-KRD is going great! They have finished work on the new Greenhorn reroute and it is open. Be sure to check their home page for full details on the rest of phase 1 of the Greenhorn Improvement project.

Description / Access Information
Cow Creek Shortcut Tr. #930: This trail provides a link between the east leg of the Cow Creek Trail No. 180 and the Cow Creek Connector Tr. No. 153. The trail contours through several small aspen groves tucked into a spring-fed basin. There are great views of the fire-scarred Mahoney Butte across the valley. This is also a great hike to appreciate and photograph the aspens turning yellow in the fall.Directions to the Greenhorn Trailhead: At the intersection of Highway 75 and Greenhorn Road (at the Greenhorn/East Fork traffic signal, which is about 5 miles south of Ketchum, and approx. 6 miles north of Hailey) go west to follow the Greenhorn Gulch Road for 3.7 miles to its end at the Greenhorn Trailhead.
