Difficulty: Difficult (Libby Creek Trail) & Moderate (Barber Lake Trail)
Directions: The Green Rock Trailhead can be reached by traveling west from Laramie along Highway 130 toward Centennial. Continue driving through Centennial into the Medicine Bow National Forest for 9 miles. The trailhead will be on the left hand side of the road. Additionally Barber Lake Trail can be accessed from Barber Lake Road which starts 2 miles beyond Centennial.
The Green Rock Trailhead provides the easiest way to get to both the Barber Lake and Libby Creek Trail. The Barber Lake Trail works its way downhill toward Barber Lake. The lowest portion of the trail is a road which provides access to some private residences. Libby Creek Trail takes off from Barber Lake Trail and follows the ridge over Libby Creek for a little over a mile before dropping down toward the creek and heading back to Barber Lake Trail.
Green Rock Trailhead is near the high point for both trails so unless you start from the Barber Lake Picnic Area you will be walking up hill on the way out.
-These trails are open all year.
-There is a $5 day use fee payable at the trailhead, or annual passes are available through the Forest Service.
-The trails range in elevation from 8,760 to 10,060 feet.
-Approved Activities Include: Hiking, Mountain Biking, Cross Country Skiing, and Snowshoeing.
-Dogs are welcome on the trails but must be under control at all times.
