Hay Creek East Road

Hidden within Pike National Forest and an extension of Schubarth Road, Hay Creek Road East is a wonderland of diverse natural beauty and mild driving challenges. As the trail meanders downhill through a lush expanse of evergreens and aspens, drivers are led to the foot of a towering boulder outcropping, unveiling panoramic views of the valley below—a perfect spot for a memorable selfie, caution aside. Open year-round, this trail morphs into a snow-wheeler's paradise during winter. Its off-camber sections and varied elevations can turn slippery but add an extra layer of adventure, with plenty of trees offering recovery support. Hay Creek Road East is not just an off-roading trail but an all-season, all-round Colorado adventure destination.
