While ascending to over 10,300 feet, surrounded by dense forest, the views of Lone Cone and the San Miguel Mountains are fleeting, but serene. 19 miles long and bumpy, FR 618 is historically known as Fall Creek and an excellent way for beginners and overlanders to access this pristine section of the Uncompahgre National Forest. In dry conditions, the entire route can be driven in 2WD with a high-clearance vehicle equipped with off-road-type tires. Some potholes and ruts can be muddy, possibly requiring 4WD in large overland camper vehicles. Suitable camping is nonexistent along this road. However, camping is found at Woods Lake, off the Forest Road 621 spur. There you will find wonderful campsites within walking distance of a scenic mountain lake.
