Conveniently located just outside of Steamboat Springs, this is a comfortable ride with great hiking, mountain biking, fishing and camping options. Unlicensed vehicles are allowed on all roads, as well as the single-track south from the pass. The trail is shared with mountain bikers and hikers, and horseback riders so please be respectful. Higher roads open July 1 through December 1, and extended for snowmobiles.
