Basic Directions

Huerfano County/ Forest Service Rd.580. This road is not maintained past the Singing River Ranch during the winter. The road crosses through approximately five miles of private lands within the Singing River & McAlpine Ranches before reaching the National Forest boundary. DO NOT PARK ANYWHERE ALONG THIS PRIVATE LAND. The road is very rough, requiring a high-clearance vehicle and four-wheel drive. The road is usually impassable due to snow until early to mid June.
