Tabeguache 2.0

Tabeguache 2.0 is a short, easy Jeep trail a short distance west of Montrose.  It starts near the Dry Creek Rock Crawling Trails, crosses Dry Creek, Piney Creek and Cushman Creek before climbing up to the South Divide - Transfer Roads GP.

The two obstacles that used to make this trail more difficult have now been removed.

There is a GPS - gpx track file at the bottom of the page.
Leave the road that accesses the Dry Creek Rock Crawling Trails and drive along a scenic shelf road above Dry Creek Basin, then drop down into Dry Creek Basin.

Unfortunately, this trail has now been graded and both obstacles removed.
You will wind through a heavy stand of pinion - juniper until you reach the Cushman Mesa Road.  Head downhill and enjoy the views of the Uncompaghre River Valley.
