Trail Information
Highlights
Chubb Park is named after Robert Bass Newett, better known as "Chubb" by his friends. He decided to settle in this area in 1867 when he came west from DeKalb, Illinois. Chubb built a hotel, established a ranch, and platted a town called Newett. Today there is nothing left of the old town of Newett, but Chubb Park offers impressive views of Buffalo Peaks and is connected to the numerous trails in the Fourmile Management Area. Chubb Park also provides access to trails leading to the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness area.

This is just a dirt road through the Chubb Park area. Very cool scenery and a great way to skip a left turn across the highway to exit the four mile area. Some mud ruts had me hitting the brakes but overall it was a very fun way to add 30 minutes to the trip and take the salt creek road out to Antero.

Very easy dirt road with some decent scenery and it provides access to many other trails in the area. When I was out here, this trail was a muddy mess and required a good bit of momentum to get through due to all of the moisture that the area received in the couple days prior to my arrival.

Easy road, nothing much doing here though. The mine spur at Waypoint 3 is neat, there are remains of a cabin and a hole in the ground. You can keep going along the spur til you reach a gate made of branches and wire. It's a pain to open and close the gate and the road ends not much further past, so I wouldn't bother going any further than the mine site. I turned off at the Lenhardy Cutoff.
