Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest · Colorado, Wyoming
Trailhead Verde Mine Trailhead Drive there
season mid-June to
The Verde Mine Trailhead provides access to the Verde Mine Trail and the southern end of the Huston Park Wilderness Area. The trailhead is difficult to access and is primarily only used during big game hunting season. It is located in the Sierra Madre Range and is managed by the Brush Creek/Hayden Ranger District.
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
