Trail Information

Highlights

Located minutes from Woodland Park, CO, Schubarth Road is a popular destination for wheelers on the Front Range. New and seasoned drivers will appreciate the undulating roadway and occasional sections of embedded rock to keep things interesting. The large sections of aspen trees with some huge boulders and evergreens make for unique leaf-peeping in the fall. Early in the trail, these trees give way to open fields that offer spectacular, and unobstructed, views of Pikes Peak. You’ll find tons of camping options on Schubarth and the connecting trails but this portion of the Pike National Forest is also packed full of recreation destinations and nearby is the Rampart Reservoir. Built-in the 1960’s, the 13 billion gallon water source is a destination for fishermen, non-motorized watercraft, and those just looking for a beach in Colorado. Near that is the Farish Recreation Center, a mountain resort accessible to military members and their families. Schubarth Road is open year-round and can make for fun and challenging snow wheeling. Off-camber sections will keep you sliding around and recovery gear is a must. This trail can be combined with Hell Creek Road, Hell Creek Spur Road, Hay Creek East Road, and Roll Over Road to make for a full day of wheeling. No matter what time a year, don't miss this well known Colorado classic.

Once you get into the trees the trail is pretty snow packed. Easily driven with 4WD. The views are great in the beginning and get swallowed up by the trees. The end of the trail is anticlimactic. Overall a pretty easy trail.

Visited to check on the trails in this area and no major changes to report. The fall colors are pretty much done

Trail is dry and easy. No issues with our 4runner with a 3" lift and 33s. Ran it with a heavily modified Jeep, 22' Power Wagon 2500, stock 3rd Gen Tacoma, and a 4Runner TRD ORP. Many puddles after the rain. Beautiful open fields that lead into heavily wooded areas.
