Before you go

  • Check current access and vehicle rules with the operator before traveling.
  • Forest Order 02-10-01-26-04 closes a 1.38-mile segment of road 505.1 beginning about0.8 miles from its County Road 130 junction, April 23,2026 through April 23,2027 unless rescinded. Do not enter that segment or attempt a bypass
  • Use the current Boulder motor vehicle use map and closure map together. The normal June 15-November 30 designation on other505.1 sections does not override the closure
  • Remain on designated roads, outside Indian Peaks Wilderness and private parcels. Do not follow the erroneous western location from the old record
  • Do not widen muddy ruts, drive around gates or leave the road to get through a damaged section. Contact Boulder Ranger District for current gate and surface conditions before travelling
  • Original photographs and the archived winter review show historic visits. They are not permission for winter driving or evidence that any closed section is open
