Trail Overview
This is a quick and easy route that passes through some private land on the first section. Stay on the road all the way to the forest boundary. There are some great camping spots along the route, but fire damage has affected the number. Open to street legal vehicles only. Closed December 1 through June 14.
Difficulty
Easy. Narrow and a little steep in a few places, but otherwise fairly easy most of the way. Can be muddy.
History
Old Flowers Road is named after Jacob Flowers, a settler who founded the nearby town of Bellvue in the 1880s. This part of Roosevelt National Forest was heavily damaged in June 2012 by the High Park Fire. A 62-year- old woman, who lived in a small cabin on the private land you cross at the beginning of the trail, died in the fire.
