ELDORADO NATIONAL FOREST

GET TO KNOW THE AREA.

Elkins Flat is part of the Eldorado National Forest’s OHV riding landscape. The Forest Service publishes an Elkins Flat route map; start there when planning a ride instead of relying on an old club itinerary.

PLAN A RIDE THAT FITS YOUR GROUP.

Use the current route map to choose a loop that matches the least experienced rider in your group. Keep road crossings and junctions in the ride briefing.

BEFORE YOU SET OUT.

  • Download the current motor vehicle use map before leaving reception.
  • Check the forest’s latest alerts and seasonal access notices.
  • Plan fuel, daylight, and a clear turnaround point.
Source & trip planning
