Treasure Mountain

Located in the San Juan Mountains, the road to the summit is called County Road 39 (Fall Creek Road). The road is usually snowed over by October or November and is not plowed. It can still definitely be dangerous in wintry or white-out conditions. It is a dirt road, very well graded until you get near the top. 4wd vehicle recommended. Make sure you watch out for drivers coming in the opposite direction - in some places on the one lane road there is very little shoulder to pull onto in order to make room for oncoming vehicles. The road is narrow and steep. It can be a little hairy.
