The Robinson Creek Trail #854A begins at an intersection with the Peter Creek Trail #856 and ends at an intersection with the Elk Basin Trail #854. The trail climbs in a southerly direction through riparian, aspen and conifer until it reaches Elk Basin deep within the West Elk Wilderness. Deer, elk and other wildlife as well as domestic cattle may be seen along the way. In Elk Basin, trails lead out toward Haystack Mountain, Soap Basin and the headwaters of Little Robinson Creek. These trails help form two loops which will take the hiker or equestrian back to the Little Robinson Trailhead.
