Horsetooth Mountain Open Space’s main trailhead, 6550 W. County Rd., 38E, will be closed to public access Monday, April 15 through Friday, April 19 for asphalt paving.

The paving project is an extension of a larger improvement plan for this trailhead area that Larimer County Department of Natural Resources completed earlier this year, including improvements to parking flow, upgrades to the kiosk area and installation of an additional vault toilet.

Plans for the main trailhead improvements were developed through extensive public input during the Horsetooth Mountain Open Space Management Plan process, which was adopted in 2022.

While access to Horsetooth Mountain Open Space via the main trailhead will be closed, visitors are encouraged to access the open space via Soderberg or Blue Sky trailheads. Visitors should check CoTREX (Colorado Trails Explorer app) at https://trails.colorado.gov for current advisories or closures before heading out.
