Wide Hollow

Wide Hollow is situated in a 3-mile-long small valley, providing access to the Old Woman Plateau to the east and Rock Canyon to the north. Main access is made off the frontage road for Interstate 70. The area is a favored location for big game hunters looking for rocky mountain elk or mule deer. The area is covered in sagebrush with many groves of oak brush or cedar trees. There are several large boulders and ledges surrounded by oak brush, making for some very picturesque views--especially in the fall and the changing colors of the leaves. Most of the road remains in good condition, although narrow. As you approach Rock Canyon and have to gain elevation, several areas have ruts and can be tricky in larger vehicles.
