Red Cone/Webster Pass
|
|
Red Cone is the most unique mountain I have ever seen
in Colorado. The trail over Red Cone goes to an elevation of 12,801ft |
|
The southern half of the loop leaving webster pass
going toward Red Cone road. The loop is about 20 miles long but if you sight see it will take all day. |
|
The Red Cone and Webster Pass trail makes a loop
that runs from road 285 just out of Montezuma over Webster Pass and back down the one way trail over Red Cone. |
|
The trail over Red Cone follows the edge of the slope.
Though it does not look steep it is very steep and shouldn't be riden if you are not an experienced rider. The tiny dots along the ridge are Jeeps. |
|
Trial: Park just past Montezuma where trail 285 starts. Follow 285 through the valley
and turn at the sign that points to Webster Pass. From Webster Pass follow the trail into the next valley for a few miles until you get to trail #565.2. Follow this to trail #565 and sign will point to Red Cone. After Red Cone leave the way you came in or make the Swan River/Radical Hill loop |

toward Keystone near the end of the resort follow the signs to Montezuma(FR5). Go through Montezuma and after about 1/2 mile you will see FR285 park just beyond here are there is a better place to park about 100 yards up the road. |
