Trail Overview

Buzzard Divide Road is a graded gravel road that provides easy access from CO-133 to the Grand Mesa and eventually to the town of Collbran. The road begins with a short easement through private land, and then winds through open meadows and aspen forests before reaching other accessible forest roads. There are ample opportunities to explore other roads and trails branching off from Buzzard Divide. The upper half of the road (starting at the intersection with FS#856) is closed to vehicles over 50 inch in width from December 1st - May 31st of each year, in order to preserve the soft roadbed.
