Seasonal Road Conditions 

Spring

Spring closures vary depending upon conditions but generally are in place from mid-March until early May. Spring closures protect soft road beds from damage and also help protect big game during late winter and early spring. Unless otherwise posted, all roads are open to non-motorized use. When roads begin to open be prepared to still turn around if you encounter patches of snow, ice, mud, or soft roads.

Summer

Forest roads are generally all open by the end of June unless they are closed due to a special order. Monsoons can bring heavy rains and flooding. Look ahead at the weather before you plan your trip. If there are many heavy rain events roads may be in worse condition or even washed out.

Fall

Roads will be accessible until the snow falls. Snow can fall as early as September or not until December; please plan accordingly. 

Winter

Most forest roads are closed or inaccessible due to snow. A few roads are plowed by the county to provide access to reservoirs including Road Canyon Reservior and Beaver Creek Reservoir. 

Please check the table below for current road conditions. The table below lists the majority of roads on the Saguache District. For information on a road not listed below, please contact the district office. In general, most roads are open by May 15 and are closed by snow by the end of December.
