The Crown Rec Area

The Crown Special Recreation Management Area near Carbondale is managed primarily for mountain biking but has trails open to hikers, equestrians, and motorized use. It has been popular for many years because of a dense trail network in the Prince Creek drainage. The Crown offers spectacular views of Mount Sopris and the Roaring Fork Valley. The Crown is closed from December 1 to April 15, except a mountain bike trail paralleling Prince Creek Road (CTY Rd 5). For more information, please contact…
