Trail Information

Highlights

Cedar Mountain Road near Divide, CO, is a poignant journey through the 138,000-acre burn area of the 2002 Hayman Fire. The land is finally showing signs of life two decades after the devastating event. Skeletal trees punctuate the landscape, their blackened trunks standing as stark reminders of the fire's fury. They now guard lush patches of forest floor and ambitious saplings. Sweeping views of this regrowth, framed by Colorado's azure skies, create an awe-inspiring backdrop for the drive. With the mild off-roading terrain and stunning scenery, this trail is an unforgettable Colorado experience.

Road itself is kinda fun, nothing too challenging but bumpier than it looks! Be sure to keep an eye and ear out for the SxSs ripping around. Long trail, the offshoots might be more interesting, but I didn’t have time to explore them.

Just ran this Saturday and it was mostly dry. The pictures do not show some of the wash areas and some cross up spots. The rating is correct. Was considerable traffic on the trail which is a given since it was Saturday.

Stock H3 on 33s. Wound up doing this whole trail Saturday 4/1. Came in from the north to get to Metberry, then left from the south mainly because north of Metberry there were a LOT of downed trees blocking half the width of the road or more. Some of them were so tight I almost turned around when I was headed south. There was little to no ice or snow on the trail. Some of the deep spots on the south end had standing water that was fun to splash through. I put spot on mainly because there were a few sections north of Metberry that I probably wouldn't have taken my stock Renegade on (not the downed trees).

Ran this all the way thru past Hackett gulch and looped around 360A to Westcreek. Snow was manageable and not much ice but have good tires. About a foot of snow in the trees and shaded areas. Only a few razors out. Would be hard to meet and pass since the trail is packed for one lane. Great day!
