South Fern Leaf Gulch Road - BLM 6140

A hidden, easy-to-moderate dirt trail off of Highway 50 West between the towns of Texas Creek and Cotopaxi. Once you turn off Highway 50, there is a gate you open to access, but please close it after entering the trail. Dirt, loose gravel, and occasional embedded rock. Scenic route with mountain views, a unique rusted can pile, and Piñon-juniper woodland. As you climb even slightly, you’ll start getting views toward the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
