Snowmobile Routes East End of the County Each Town has its own ordinance regarding snowmobile use within the town’s limits. Snowmobilers are responsible for knowing the ordinances for the area in which they are travelling.* Granby: No snowmobiles are allowed on town streets. Grand Lake: Snowmobiles are allowed to use all town streets. Snowmobiles may operate between the hours of 6 a.m. and 11p.m., within the municipal boundaries of the town. The only exceptions made will be for snowmobiles involved in emergency situations, search and rescue operations, commercial grooming of snowmobile trails within the town, or one entry and one exit to or from the town. Upon entry, the operator must proceed on a direct route to his or her destination. Town roadways shall be used solely as a method of transportation and not for recreation.

Fraser: Snowmobiles are allowed on the streets and alleys of Fraser, as a means of getting to and from the town. Snowmobiles shall not be operated on the streets and alleys for recreational purposes, or for any other purpose not specifically authorized in the town’s ordinance.

The Continental Divide Trail

1 5 1 6

The Continental Divide Trail stretches 3,100 miles from Canada to Mexico, traversing five states and 12 Congressionally - designated Wilderness Areas. However, increasing pressures from development, rising land costs, and decreases in federal funding are threatening the completion of the trail. The non-profit Continental Divide Trail Alliance (CDTA) assists federal land management agencies in the completion, management and protection of the trail and works to increase the public’s awareness and involvement in completing one of the most unique backcountry routes in the world. To join the CDTA, call 888-909-2382 or visit www.cdtrail.org.
