About this trail
Ridge Stock Driveway is a 16.8-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the Routt National Forest's Hahns Peak/Bears Ears Ranger District. The route features 1,715 feet of elevation gain across its full length, making it a moderately challenging day hike or backpacking option. This trail follows an historic stock driveway route through the national forest. The out-and-back format allows hikers to turn around at any point based on time and energy levels. With nearly 17 miles round trip and substantial elevation change, this trail is best suited for intermediate to experienced hikers prepared for a full day of hiking. The trail is maintained by the Routt National Forest and provides access to the remote terrain of the Hahns Peak/Bears Ears area. Hikers should be prepared with adequate water, sun protection, and appropriate footwear for extended travel through forest service terrain.
