Mother Nature’s curveball of a winter is still impacting the opening of the trail. We’re not there yet–our awesome Road and Bridge crew is working on plowing the high country over the Uncompahgre Plateau.
But it’s Memorial Day weekend, and you want a getaway . . . so here’s our suggestion: take Dave Wood Road from Montrose to Sanborn Park Road to Norwood. Jump on Highway 145 to 141 (towards Naturita) and either (a) hop back on the Rimrocker Trail (avoid the water crossing and use the detour) or (b) check out the amazing side trails in the West End (Nucla Naturita area). Don’t forget to visit the Nucla-Naturita Area Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center.
What are side trails you ask? Check them out here for epic adventure filled with history, scenery, and wide open spaces: Interactive Map With Side Trails .
