The ride from my house is 17 miles with gentle rolling hills. It is basically flat in the high, sage desert. Once you get to Ute and start the climb to the trees the road gets steeper. I enjoy the ride to Ute Mountain. Even though it is only 17 miles, you need to take plenty of water and food. The air is dry. If you are a flatlander you're dehydrated before you arrive in the high desert.
It around 6 miles from this sign.
Looking back at the Rio Grande...
At the end of the two track...
Looking at the Rio Grande from Ute...
Once you come to the wye stay to the right. It only 2.5 from the cattle loading chute.
Don't cross the fence. The road looks promising, but it is a dead end.
This is a picture of Ute Mountain before a climb.
