Divide Ranger District - Current Roads Status

Seasonal Road Conditions

LAST UPDATED: May 5, 2025 by AC

Spring

Spring closures vary depending upon conditions but generally are in place from March 15 to May 15. Spring closures protect soft roadbeds 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 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 Reservoir and Beaver Creek Reservoir.
