Trail Overview
This scenic county trail route follows Larimer County Roads 82E, 67J, and 73C, providing access to the Chicken Park trail system and a few additional spur trails. The eastern side of the trail primarily passes through open private grasslands on its eastern end, used for ranches and cattle grazing, giving travelers wide views of the rolling foothills with more dramatic pine and aspen-covered mountains in the distance. The central and western portion of the trail passes through a mix of ranches, forest, and spread-out houses. The trail is typically two vehicles wide, with grassy shoulders that allow for passing in narrower sections. OHVs are not permitted on this route. The route receives winter maintenance on either end, but is closed. The portion in the forest is closed from Tami Road to CR 67J from December to April.
