Overview

Sand Creek Pass meanders through the Lodge Pole Pines of the Roosevelt National Forest in north-central Colorado. This road provides ample opportunities for a quiet, primitive camping experience as OHV traffic is minimal. The area is very popular in the fall season with deer and elk hunters setting up camp for their adventure. This scenic route is not difficult, but does contain one water crossing that can be up to a foot deep during the spring snow melt. The road is optimal for stock, high clearance vehicles and drivers with little to no off-road experience.
