Overview

Mendenhall is a mountain forest trail that drops from the Medicine Bow Mountains down into the North Park Valley just north of Walden, CO. The trail offers off-roaders a variety of experiences including a rocky road, dense forest, and great views of the Zerkel Wilderness area to the west. This trail is a nice scenic drive for experienced off-roaders while it can be challenging for novice wheelers. This trail is also near the popular North Sand Hills Recreation area.
