Overview

Black Dumps Road is a true 4WD road located approximately ten miles east of Johnson Village, known for its rocks, ruts, and seasonal mud. This area of the San Isabel National Forest, commonly referred to as “Fourmile”, contains dozens of roads and spurs that provide a broad spectrum of outdoor recreational opportunities. Black Dumps Road is noted for its high buttes, boulder-strewn meadows, and Aspen forest. It is popular among OHV users, mountain bikers, hikers, and equestrians. Its remoteness, the variety of outdoor activities it invites, and rugged two-track roads are the greatest attractions to Black Dumps Road.
