Trail Overview

Go from Sunset, CO to Highway 72 on this fun route. If you want to make a loop, use the first portion of the Switzerland Trail. This will also offer a bit more challenge. The upper portion of the trail goes through a small residential area. It is open all year. Check weather first.

Ran west to east (downhill). Dry, narrow in places but not too many challenging obstacles. Might be more challenging east to west. Id suspect itd be very tough if wet/mud/snow.

Not too difficult for this mostly stock RZR pro w/30” tires. One P.U truck passed us heading east (downhill direction of loop). Was dry conditions today. challenging mainly due to being so narrow and eroded. Not many large rocks to crawl over though.

Snowpack is still apparent on this road, and becomes very narrow toward the top when coming from Sunset. Snow and mud made it hard to gain traction, and had to back down due to lack of traction despite deflation. Was advised by driver in SXS that it becomes narrow at the top, and may be difficult for Jeeps to get past. Would recommend this for SXS only at this time.
