A suggested non-motorized use area for skiers & snowshoers, etc. exists on the west side of Hahns Peak (see the purple inset in the Columbine Parking and Winter Recreation Map above). Motorized users please stay on the new trail through this area and respect the non-motorized users.
Parking Options:
Ellis South Trailhead Parking Lot (see the Columbine Parking and Winter Recreation Map above): The new Ellis South Trailhead Parking lot ~1 mile north of the Columbine Quarry (intersection of County Road (CR) 129 and Forest Road (FR) 550) on FR 550.
Routt County is plowing both the parking lot and FR 550 as part of the North Routt plowing process as manpower and winter weather allows.
Snowmobile trailers should be parked in the new lot. Trail system access to Hahns Peak Village will be via FR 413/418 to FR 490 and then FR 410.
Columbine Quarry Lot: The Columbine Quarry lot should remain available for non-motorized winter trail users.
Steamboat Lake State Park Marina Lot: Overflow/Additional parking is available at the Steamboat Lake State Park Marina located on County Road 62.
