Overview

Cherokee Park Road is a beautiful drive through the Roosevelt National Forest on the northwestern edge of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It acts as the main artery, heading east and west, for a network of less maintained off-road Forest Service and private roads connecting the Red Feather Lakes all the way into Wyoming. Cherokee Park Road is also the main access to the Colorado State Cherokee Parks Hunting Units, a wildlife area that's only open to public use by licensed hunters during open hunting seasons. This trail is open year round as well as the connecting trails making it an awesome snow wheeling destination. Cherokee Park Road, with just under 45 miles of trail and the dozens of surrounding trails, make this is an excellent area to explore and trail to run with overland 4x4 vehicles.
