Straight Creek

Trail Overview

This is an ATV or dirt bike trail that follows I-70 from the town of Dillon to the Eisenhower Tunnel. You follow the creek most of the time, which is in the shadow of I-70. It's mostly an easy road with some sand, washouts, a few shallow creeks, and some small but steep hills. This passes through the burn scar from the 2021 Straight Creek Fire.

Difficulty

This trail is part one-lane road, part ATV trail (50-inch). It has several shallow creek crossings and a few very rocky sections.

History

This appears to have been built to support the construction of I-70 and the tunnels. Today it serves as a service road for the I-70 drainage system which is interesting in itself, as well as for access to utilities to the tunnel.
