Where can I go four-wheel driving around Glenwood Springs?
The two places that have many primitive roads are the Flat Tops and the Four Mile area. The east side of the Flat Tops is accessed by Coffee Pot Springs Road (Forest Service Road #600) north of Dotsero. It is an improved gravel road that is steep and windy. Be sure and stop at the Deep Creek Overlook along the way if you travel to Heart Lake and Deep Lake. The west side of the Flat Tops is accessed by the Buford-New Castle Road (Forest Service Road #245). North of the town of New Castle, the road slowly climbs up and travels through the Flat Tops and eventually drops down to the town of Buford. There are many high-clearance roads between these two points. The Four Mile Road (Forest Service Road #300) is located south of Glenwood Springs toward Ski Sunlight. Once in the Forest, there are many high clearance roads off the main access road. Be sure to take a White River National Forest Map and stay on the roadways.
