TRAIL MAPS & CONDITIONS
Trails Conditions Updated as of September 28th, 2026
We have a lot of weather moving into the area over the next few days. It’s possible the top of the mountains could have snow. We have already gotten reports that there is snow on the top of California Pass today.
Still some leaves out there with some lovely yellow colors, but after this weather moves through it’s possible the leaves will be done.
Please be safe out there. With all this rain there could be mud and rock slides possible especially in burn scar areas. We will do our best to keep out social media pages updated on any reports we receive or experience first hand.
Construction North of Ouray with Hwy 550 road closure:
CONSTRUCTION SOUTH OF OURAY:
RED MOUNTAIN RETAINING WALL AND TUNNEL REPAIR
Between mile marker 88.6 and 90.8 south of Ouray expect delays Monday – Friday 7:00 AM-7:00 PM. Ouray County advises people to expect delays of up to 15-20 minutes when traveling through the area from July through September.
Hope everyone is enjoying the trails as well. It’s very dry up here so please be mindful of all the fire restrictions.
STAY THE TRAIL
DO NOT proceed around any snow or trees that may be blocking trails. The Tundra is very sensitive ecosystem and driving on it will damage it which could cause irreparable harm.
Pack in and Pack out
SPECIAL ADVISORY:
As mentioned be mindful of rock and mudslides with all this rain moving into the area the next few days.
