4th of July Road is a scenic, easy drive that winds west from Eldora into the Indian Peaks Wilderness, making it one of the most popular access routes in the area. The road is generally 2WD-friendly, with only a few shallow washouts that are easily managed with careful driving. Along the drive, the scenery steadily improves, with aspen groves putting on a brilliant show of color each fall and a small waterfall visible around the 1.6-mile mark, adding to the charm.
The road ends at a large parking area that serves as the trailhead for the popular 4th of July hiking trail. Just before the end, you’ll also find a small forest service campground with several sites, including at least one ADA-reserved spot. With its easy access, light challenges, and excellent scenery, 4th of July Road is a great choice for casual drivers, hikers, and anyone looking for a simple route into the high country.
