Star #411 the Forest Service's write-up
season June to October
The Star Trail #411 begins at the Star Trail Trailhead on Rocky Brook Road, FSR #748 and ends at Italian Creek Road, FSR #759. For the first couple of miles the trail climbs northeast out of the Trail Creek valley. This trail climbs and descends many time along its length and is known for its excellent scenery. It passes Mysterious Lake, where fly fishing for Brook Trout is usually good, and crosses the South Italian Creek drainage and ends at Italian Creek Road.
Restrictions Open to Hiking, Horseback, Mountain Bike, and Motorcycle

Every trail in Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
