TRAIL MAPS & CONDITIONS
Trails Conditions Updated as of October 18th, 2026
That is a wrap on our season. We have officially closed for the season.
There is a lot of snow in the high country and trails are closing. We advise if you are heading into the back country to pay attention to your surroundings and turn back before you need rescuing. Best advise is to wait till the snow clears and come for a visit next season.
We are going to show all trails closed as we are now focused on shutting down and doing the final cleaning of our touring vehicles.
We will see you next May. Thanks for a great season!.
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:

Please respect the San Juans as if you call them home and leave the area just as pristine as when you arrived.

OPEN year round. This is such a fun little trail between Ophir and Sawpit. But, the highlight is the very first AC plant (as in Tesla) built in the U.S. This electric plant serviced many of the mills between Telluride and Ouray in the early 1900’s.

Our information comes from being up on the trails ourselves or updates from County/USFS sources, and those that have been on particular trails in their own vehicles. So, as with any high mountain terrain, be CAUTIOUS! If you start up a trail and you are uncertain, don’t go any farther.
Remember, the adventure lies in exploring the beautiful scenery and seeing what’s around the next corner… not just a destination. Take water, layers of warm clothing, and maps. Allow plenty of time.
