Rio Grande National Forest · Colorado
Begins at the forest's mile 0, 37.0886, -106.4490 - no trailhead mapped Drive to where the trail begins
The Red Lake trailhead is on FDR 114, approx. 2 1/4 miles from Highway 17. The parking area is large enough to accommodate horse trailers and other vehicles. There is also another smaller turnaround on FDR 114 at the dead end.
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.
