Red & White Mountain

Reopen is June 20th 2026

Pretty views, especially towards the eastern junction with Red Sandstone Rd, and near the top with the expansive south views. Ended up being a bit trickier than expected, not the worst road I’ve made it through in the subie but definitely had some scraping on my skid plates a good few times. A lot of sections of the road aren’t awful, just with large water bars, and deep ruts that are pretty easily avoidable. There are some areas with a lot of erosion/damage from when the road was wet, exposing large rocks and somewhat deep mud pits. Would not recommend this road for other compact AWD SUVs without protection/lifting/good tires, and wouldn’t come here when wet without 4L at least.

Beautiful Views of Vail, Avon and Gore Mountain Range. Lots of wild flowers still.

Open with a few dispersed sites. Recent Level one fire restrictions in Eagle County

Very dusty and lots of hunters. Not technical just ruts and rocky

dry and light dust. need decent clearance but it's an easy trail.

Started at the bottom and drove about an hour up before turning around (we only had a short 2 hour window to head out). A local had described it as “just a dirt road” - but definitely more technical than that description. Very rocky, loose gravel, some large ruts, and largely narrow / single width without many opportunities to pull over to pass. FUN but rocky the whole way, so definitely a slow journey up. No obstacles that our 2004 Wrangler couldn’t handle easily.

Rode on a motorcycle, Lots of puddles, and one mud hole that caused a truck to need traction boards- likely to trap unmodified or unprepared rig.

Trail gate just opened Friday (6/21). Didn’t get a chance to run it but have in the past.
