Stealey Mountain ATV

This 3.7-mile long ATV trail starts on Owl Creek Pass and zig-zags south through the Uncompahgre National Forest. The south nd accesses the non-motorized Stealey Mountain North hiking trail. The trail's north end is wide and smooth, like an old road. Most of the rest of the trail is an easy two-track path through meadows and forest, with small rocks along the trail. It goes through a cattle grazing area and up and over small, easy hills. The trail descends from the north end to the Owl Creek drainage and climbs back up for the rest of the way south. Parts of i go along a shelfy edge of a hillside, with great views of the mountains. The trail is gradual and smooth, besides some small ruts and rocks. It crosses a rocky creek bed that was dry in October but probably has water in the spring.
