About
Crag Road is a rocky doubletrack mountain biking route in Montrose, Colorado, connecting Rim Road to Dry Creek Road. The trail runs generally downhill, parallel to the rim of Dry Creek Canyon, for approximately 5.3 miles. It begins with a mild climb for the first mile before descending toward the canyon. The surface is characterized as rocky jeep road, with the final steep descent into Dry Creek Canyon noted as rough and potentially challenging for intermediate riders. Beginners may need to walk specific sections. The route offers options for a roughly 11-mile loop via Dry Creek Road and Rim Road, or a shuttle ride using Transfer Road. Parking is available at the trailhead, and pets are allowed. The trail is accessible from April through October but should be avoided when wet or snowy.
