Handcart Gulch Road

Trail Overview

Handcart Gulch Road is the continuation of Hall Valley Road (Park County 60) and allows OHVs. It allows access to Red Cone (and is the return of the Red Cones one way to 285) and ends at the top of Webster Pass, before becoming Webster Pass Road and continuing into Montezuma, CO. This road has a yearly large snow drift that blocks the 50 feet below the Webster summit and does not typically open until mid to late July and isn't passable by full-size vehicles till August. The switchbacks leading up to Webster have a solid rock on one side, and a large, crumbling drop-off on the other side, making it not suitable for larger full-size vehicles, without a very skillful driver. It offers excellent views of Red Cone, allowing you to get a look at the 10% decent from the top of Red Cone before tackling it.

Difficulty

The road itself is not difficult, with the exception that it is very narrow with frequent washouts, solid rock on one side, and vertical drop-offs on the other side.
