About

Old Goat Road is a rocky, relatively steep dirt road connecting Cedaredge to Hart's Basin. The trail serves as a route between the Surface Creek Trail and Hart's Basin, offering views of the West Elks mountains and Fruitgrowers Reservoir. The climate is arid, and the road lacks shade and water sources, making it hot in the summer. It is located near Delta on the Western Slope.
