Overview

Rule Ridge Road combes light off-roading with magnificent forests and landscapes. As it winds along a ridge, panoramic views of towering mountains and valleys unfold, including the grandeur of Pikes Peak and the South Platte River. The trail offers a particularly stunning spectacle during Fall when aspens growing in the visible Hayman burn area explode into vibrant colors. The trail's allure doesn't stop at its vistas. It also presents a mild wheeling adventure with steep sections and rocky spots and the opportunity to spot local wildlife like deer and elk. Rule Ridge is ideal for those seeking a less crowded, visually stunning off-roading experience in Colorado.
