Trail Overview

This short single track in the Hahn's Peak Trail System cuts across Farwell Mountain, departing from the Farwell Mountain Road, and connecting back to the Little Red Park camping area via the Farwell Mountain ATV Trail. This is an easier trail in the trail system, with a bit of loose rock and narrow sections of trail meandering through the forest, with no major obstacles and far less rock than some of the surrounding trails. There is potential for downfall here, and there is a huge thick tree down at chest height that you have to wheel your bike under. It goes through several scenic open meadows and through a pine tree forest. This is a good connector trail to go north to FSR 409 instead of taking Farwell Mountain Road, which is very rocky. The north end of the single track connects to two ATV trails.

Access Description

Access the Hahn's Peak Trail System by taking Routt County Rd 129 north of Hahn's Peak Village towards Columbine to access National Forest. The dirt bike trails here are very spread out, so you will have to take several forest service roads and ATV trails to connect many of the trails, but you can stage in different zones with plenty of camping based on which trails you want to ride. Some of the popular staging/camping areas are Little Red Park off of Red Park Road (FS 409), or off of Whiskey Park Road (FS 550). There are several days-worth of trails here and it's a very popular spot for dirt bikers and family camping in the summer. Most of the trails don't open until mid-June or July, and there can typically still be snow drifts and uncut logs in early summer. This area has a lot of beetle kill, so downed trees are common. There is no cell service except for on top of some of the peaks.
