Ophir Creek Road

The trail is approximately 8.2 miles in length and connects to other trails within the San Isabel National Forest. Ophir Creek Road winds through dense forest, aspen groves, and peaceful mountain terrain with several dispersed camping opportunities along the route. While most of the drive is smooth and suitable for high-clearance vehicles, the trail gradually climbs into the forest before opening to scenic views of the surrounding mountains, including portions of the Sangre de Cristo Range.
