East Bellows / Wheeler Monument
La Garita, CO · 16.9 Miles
East Bellows/Wheeler Monument
The trail itself varies greatly in terrain from grassy meadows to rocky switchbacks and overall it makes a nice day ride (don’t forget to pack a lunch). Please note that the first mile and last 2 miles of this trail is shared with ATV’s, 4x4 vehicles, and dirtbikes; however horse and foot traffic only is allowed within the actual monument boundaries. Dispersed camping is allowed at the trailhead and high lines/hitching rails are provided but water must be hauled in. This area is also utilized as a cattle grazing lease so make sure your feed is secured inside of your trailer. Pool Table Road is fairly steep and if it’s rainy, 4WD is required. Weather and other up to date information can be obtained by calling the local forest service office at 719-657-3321.
