Rocky Mountain National Park Visitor's Guide



Lefthand Canyon

There is a network of four-wheel drive roads ranging from easy to difficult. There are some very steep hills and sidehill "leaners." Be especially careful of the latter, as there have been a number of roll-over accidents in this area. A free trail guide for the area may be obtained at the Boulder Ranger District Office.

Access west of Buckingham Park, four miles west of Altona, off the Lefhand Canyon Road, on National Forest System Road (NFSR) 286. In Boulder Ranger District, Roosevelt National Forest.
