About this route
Forest Fence Snow is a 3.3-mile out-and-back trail located in Colorado near the Yampa Ranger District of Routt National Forest. The trail is managed by the US Forest Service through the Routt NF Yampa RD. This moderate-distance route offers hikers an accessible option for exploring the natural landscape of northwestern Colorado. The out-and-back format allows hikers to turn around at any point, making it adaptable for different fitness levels and time constraints. The trail's name suggests it passes through forested terrain with fencing features, characteristic of managed national forest land in the region. Routt National Forest is known for its diverse ecosystems ranging from high mountain peaks to river valleys. The Yampa Ranger District encompasses much of this varied terrain near the Yampa River area. Before heading out, check with the Routt NF Yampa RD for current trail conditions and any seasonal closures or restrictions. The area's weather can change rapidly, so prepare accordingly for your visit.
