Enjoy snowmobiling the many miles of designated snowmobile routes or cross-country skiing on snow-packed seasonal roads.

The Pike-San Isabel National Forests & Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands has established travel management regulations to enable safe motorized travel, protect natural resources, and minimize conflicts with non-motorized uses and wildlife. Be sure to pick up a Motor Vehicle Use Map at a District Office or the headquarters in Pueblo before you head out.
