About Trail: Webster Pass to Montezuma
Webster Pass is a relatively easy 4WD road. From the north, there are not any serious obstacles other than one stream crossing that, during Spring runoff, will test the door seals of stock trucks. Just south of the summit, there is an extremely narrow section with a startling 300-foot drop-off.
The Forest Service recommends that this section not be attempted by "full-size vehicles." The driver of any sized vehicle had better be on point. It would be a good idea to send a spotter ahead on foot to check for fresh rock falls or washouts and to stop any oncoming traffic. You do not want to have to reverse through the narrows. Beyond the narrows, the south side is quite tame.
The difficulty level is between Easy to Moderate, depending on the driver's experience. There will be some water crossings and a few narrow spots.
We will leave the Platte Canyon High school parking lot at 7:30 sharp, please come early so we can get parking spots for our trucks and trailers at the (Handcart Trailhead parking area).
For more information, you can call Mike at 303.880.9878 or George at 303.880.3800 or visit the website at cofausa.org
Recommended to bring:
Full tank of gas
Updated 2022 to 2023 OHV sticker for (ATV and UTV only )
If you have a GMRS radio or cheap walk-talkie, bring it (optional but helpful)
Lunch, snacks, and water
Sunscreen, lip balm, mosquito repellent
Toilette paper and hand sanitizer
Warm clothing in layers and shoes with good grip
Waterproof jacket or rain poncho just in case of surprise showers
ATV riders are strongly advised to wear a proper riding helmet
