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.
