This is a high-altitude pass across the Continental Divide in the Sierra Madre mountains, named for a battle that took place in 1841. You'll find the crumbling remains of a historic townsite here, and a couple of trailheads for accessing the Continental Divide Trail, which runs north and south of here. In autumn, keep an eye out for the bright colors of aspen trees near the highway.

Of all the lakes you'll pass while riding Snowy Range Road, Lake Marie is the prettiest and most accessible from the road. This sort of scenery is exactly the reason for riding this road.

If you set out from the Dipper Lake Trailhead, you'll put in a moderate climb on doubletrack to reach Heart Lake, which sits off a spur of the main trail. This is a quiet section of this trail network, but if you want to keep riding you can merge back into other nearby trails that access other lakes and the area around Medicine Bow Peak.

Heart Lake sits on a spur off the Dipper Lake Trail, which in turn connects in to the Medicine Bow Peak Trail. As long as your vehicle can make the rough approach to the trailhead, this is a great way to enjoy a quieter corner of an otherwise very popular section of Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. It's also a good workout, with a moderate amount of elevation gain compared to the distance.

The easy trail loops near the Brush Creek Visitor Center are a great place for a first hike in Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. During the summer keep an eye out for birds, flowers, and colorful insects including the dorcas copper butterfly. During winter, you might need to put on snowshoes or skis — the trails usually receive weekly grooming.
