Pole Hill Road (#122)

Pole Hill Road is located 3 miles east of Estes Park off Highway 36. Pole Hill Road starts on private land with many side roads branching off. The National Forest boundary is 0.9 miles from the highway. Dispersed camping with trailers along #122 is not recommended due to the roughness of the road. Please note there is no access from Larimer County Road 18E to the east side of Pole Hill Road.

There are excellent views of the Estes valley, the Mummy Range to the north, Flattop Mountain, and Hallet Peak.

Getting There

Parking

There is no designated parking lot and parking is limited to around 2 trailers at the beginning. Please do not block roads.
