Wagon Wheel Trail System - New Castle CO

This is an amazing area, geographically, it is called the Colorado flat tops. There are many valleys and mountain tops, full of wild flowers and the occasional sheep herd.

We had a great time last year and found a sizable, dispersed campsite that is in the middle of all the trails. Getting there involves traveling for about an hour north of Newcastle on a dirt road. Last year we had no issues on the road, and it is suitable for any size rig.

To get to the campsite travel I 70 west to the town of Newcastle.
To get to the campsite, Paste the following GPS coordinates into your Google maps. 39.8154013, -107.5815187

The Wagon Wheel System has over 250 miles of trails and 16 interconnecting loops in the White River National Forest on the top the expansive Flat Tops. Some of the trails have restrictions depending on your vehicle width. For the most part full size side-by-sides won’t have a problem.

We will have a potluck dinner Saturday night 6:00 pm Please bring something to share if you want to participate.

DOT helmets are required for all drivers and passengers, it is also highly recommended that you have a two-way for enhanced safety and to help you stay connected with your ride group. A two-way radio link is at the bottom of the page.
