Overview

In the Saxon Mountain network of trails near Georgetown, CO, Ute Creek Road is a rough ride with scenic views. At the higher elevations, the nearby Mount Evans is ready to be photographed. There are campsites with great views as well. While this road used to be an easy access road, time and weather have made this a technical trail while still allowing it to be an easier way to the top of Saxon Mountain. You can combine this trail with nearly any that connects to it and make a full day of wheeling.
