| Description: | |||||||||||||||
| The Del Norte Peak 4WD road leaves Highway 160 near South Fork, CO. The road is a graded two lane road. It heads south through the forest passing Del Norte Peak and connecting in with the Summitville Road, FR330. I have only driven the first section before getting on the Willow Creek road, FR350. The road is graded gravel and appears to be that way for most of its length. The southern end may be narrower. |
