Trail Overview

Pawnee National Grasslands offers a distinct landscape of wide-open views and rolling hills with ample opportunities for recreation. This area is a checkerboard of National Grasslands, State of Colorado, Central Plains Experimental Range, and private lands. The area contains numerous Forest Service Roads that may be explored individually or can be linked together for hours of enjoyment. The crisscrossing two tracks lead in many directions so pay close attention to posted signs and designated maps. Crow Vally Loop is an easy two-track trail in dry conditions. Drivers should be cautious in wet conditions. There are some areas where the roadbed is heavily rutted and areas that will collect standing water, making for muddy conditions.

Other than some people at the shooting range had all the roads to ourselves. Many washouts but have bypasses. Could be really muddy after a rain

It was dry in the evening and a pleasant drive with a beautiful view from Crow valley hill… pretty muddy the next morning but nothing I had trouble with.
