Trail Overview

This section of Alamosa Conjeos road goes to Platoro, Colorado along the Conjeos River and to the Platoro Reservoir. It starts 28 miles north of Chama and 22 miles south of Alamosa off of Hwy 17. Turning off the road there is a large enough area to air down if inclined due to roughness from the graders. Parts of the road pass through private property where clearly marked no trespassing. Outside of private land in the National Forest there are a few developed campgrounds and pull off areas for access to the Conjeos River for fishing all along the road. The river is known for Rainbow and Brown Trout with a 2 fish limit and license required. The road will take you to Platoro, Colorado where there is camping and cabins. Skyline Lodge and Gold Pan Cafe offer meals; however, their schedule may be erratic depending on time of year. Past there is the Platoro Reservoir with camping and fishing along with other sideroads offering the same. The road will continue till it intersects with Park Creek South and the adjoining section of Alamosa Conjeos road to Alamosa, and Monte Vista, Colorado.

Washboard
The section from CO17 to Platoro was wide and well maintained with some washboarding and few potholes. Limited traffic. Dry. The section from Platoro north to Stunner was more narrow, rougher, and steeper but easy 2WD. We turned around at Stunner. The entire drive was dry and dusty.
