Montezuma Pass

Trail Overview

Montezuma Pass is a heavily corrugated service road that provides access to Parker Canyon Lake. The route is a double-lane mountain pass with winding curves and rolling elevation changes, making for a scenic but bumpy drive. On Sundays, the road is a popular destination for motorcyclists looking to enjoy the twists and turns, as well as families heading to the lake for a day of recreation. While the drive is not particularly difficult, the rough surface and dust can make for a rugged experience. For those who don't mind a bit of bumpiness, it offers a pleasant and accessible mountain pass route with picturesque surroundings. The trail offers a few dispersed campsites but lacks amenities such as trash disposal and water supply, and there is limited cell service.
