Ellis Jeep Trail / Red Park Connection
Ellis Trail 499 northern mapped motor-route reference, Hahns Peak, CO
About this trail
Ellis Jeep Trail uses the designated 499 route near the Colorado–Wyoming border, with a short permitted section of trail 1101 connecting toward Red Park Road 500. Expect rough forest terrain, mud and water holes, and use a capable high-clearance 4WD vehicle. Follow both the Parks and Hahns Peak/Bears Ears motor vehicle maps: most neighboring sections of 1101 are not open to full-size vehicles. The mapped full-size sections have a June 15–December 1 season, which does not guarantee safe or snow-free travel. The pin marks the northern mapped 499 trail reference, not the old Walden-area source pin or a confirmed parking space.

Before you go
- Check current access and vehicle rules with the operator before traveling.
- Use the current Parks and Hahns Peak/Bears Ears motor vehicle maps together. Full-size access on trail 1101 is limited to mile 1.20–1.80; other 1101 sections have motorcycle or narrower-vehicle limits
- The designated 499 and permitted 1101 connector have a June 15–December 1 motor-use season. Obey gates and current orders, and do not infer winter permission from the historical snowy photograph
- Stay on the designated 499 / permitted 1101 / Red Park 500 corridor. Older alignments and nearby tracks are not additional riding permission
- Check road, bridge, snow and weather conditions with the ranger districts before travel. Carry recovery equipment and use a road-legal 4WD vehicle with the registrations required for the route
- The published original photograph is historical and does not show current conditions. A separate original rock-ledge photograph is retained in the source archive because its attribution to the current mapped corridor is uncertain
