Trail Overview

Tabeguache 2.0 is a short, easy Jeep trail a short distance west of Montrose. It starts near the Dry Creek Rock Crawling Trails, and crosses Dry Creek, Piney Creek, and Cushman Creek before climbing up to the South Divide - Transfer Roads. The two obstacles that used to make this trail more difficult have now been removed.Leave the road that accesses the Dry Creek Rock Crawling Trails and drive along a scenic shelf road above Dry Creek Basin, then drop down into Dry Creek Basin.Cross Dry Creek Basin then climb to the slightly higher ground covered with juniper-pinyon on your way to Piney Creek. Unfortunately, this trail has now been graded and both obstacles removed. You will wind through a heavy stand of pinion-juniper until you reach the Cushman Mesa Road. Head downhill and enjoy the views of the Uncompaghre River Valley.
