Ormes Peak Road

Emerging from the aftermath of the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire, Ormes Peak Road presents a unique journey for wheelers through the regenerating Colorado forest. This easy yet engaging trail meanders through the burn-scarred woodland, now bursting with new aspen growth. Accessible year-round, it offers an off-the-beaten-path experience for wheelers in summer while flaunting a stunning fall colors display in the autumn, and even winter trips are feasible with the proper precautions and gear. Combined with nearby trails like Schubarth Road for a day of immersive driving, serene camping opportunities near young aspens, and a chance to witness nature's ongoing recovery firsthand. Ormes Peak Road is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Colorado wilderness.
