Lamartine Road is an excellent trail for off-roaders in the beautiful Arapahoe National Forest. The rough road provides breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristo Range and the Wet Mountains. In addition, this trail is an alternative to Saxon Mountain Road's switchbacks and has many hidden campsites for an isolated stay. The area has a rich mining history dating back to the mid-1800s when gold was discovered, leading to a gold rush that brought a wave of miners to the area. Today, the remnants of the mining boom can still be seen throughout these trails, with historic mines and mining structures serving as a testament to Colorado's past. It's the perfect place to camp and start your weekend wheeling adventure in this area.
