Gravel Segment
On 6530 Rd, Montrose, Montrose County, Colorado
Very fun dirt and gravel road that starts off of Chukar Road in the Gunnison Gorge NCA and turns into 6530 Rd just outside Montrose. Like all roads in this area, it is Bentonite clay and impassable when wet. A rough road surface with larger gravel, ruts, and some small rocks but still fine for gravel bikes. Ridden this direction (N to S) there are great views of Montrose and the San Juans.
2 overlapping segments.
