Trail Overview

Plumtaw road is a scenic drive through the Weminuche Wilderness north of Pagosa Springs. It goes through beautiful sections of the San Juan National Forest, with great views of Pagosa Peak. There are peaceful meadows and wildflowers all along the drive depending upon the season. Combining this road with Four Mile, McManus and Piedra roads makes for a 50-mile loop out of Pagosa Springs. Be aware there were logging operations close to where Black Mountain road (#661) branches off in 2021.
