Trail Overview

The La Garita Creek ATV trail is an easier trail ride through the Rio Grande National Forest. The north end drops down from Cave Creek Road, and starts out pretty rocky, with loose rocks in the trail, like riding over a layer of golf balls. It continues as a rutted dirt two-track through high-elevation meadows. The trail climbs in and out of the trees, at the edge of the valley, with a couple of big hairpin turns and more embedded rock when it goes through the forest sections. The embedded rock is mostly flat and easy to ride over, but is a bit more off-camber in a couple of sections, but not enough to make it more difficult. It has a shallow stream crossing as well. The trail ends at the intersection with the La Garita Creek Cutoff Trail, which you can take north to connect to the La Garita Stock Driveway Trail or south to a trailhead.
