To get to the Routt Access Parking Lot:

From Walden, Colorado, take Colorado Highway 125 north 13 miles to the junction of Colorado Highways 125 and 127. At the junction, veer left, remaining on Highway 125. At just over 3 miles, you will cross the river, and farther on you will see a "Routt National Forest Access" sign on the right. At the sign, turn right onto the dirt road and travel 1/4 mile to the parking lot. Although many people drive to and from Denver in one day, we urge you to stay the night before your trip in Walden. This will allow you plenty of time to find the meeting place. If you want to camp, be aware that most campsites fill by 6:00 p.m. on weekends.

From the Fort Collins area allow a little over 2 hours driving time. From Denver, allow about 3.5 hours driving time. Please call our Fort Collins office at (800) 858-6808 if you have delays or problems.
