Overview

Located 45 minutes southwest of Boulder, Winiger Ridge is the only 4wd road that allows access to the western side of Gross Reservoir. This easy trail is great for weekend camp trips with friends or day trips to the lake for some fishing, kayaking, or paddleboarding. Kick back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Be aware that there is no swimming allowed in Gross Reservoir. This trail is a little rough but short and easy enough that any 4WD enthusiast can do it. Just be aware the trail could be crowded with other drivers and many hikers and is only a single car wide.
