The 2020 East Troublesome fire burned in two National Forest management areas. The western side is managed by the Routt National Forest while the eastern side is under Arapaho National Forest management. Many areas within the fire have reopened, but some roads and trails are still restricted to certain uses or closed.
Areas within the fire’s perimeter administered by the Arapaho National Forest that remain closed include: Cabin Creek Road (FSR 112), Buffalo Creek Road (108.1), and Kaufman Creek Road (121.1) Additionally, a number of motorized trails along Stillwater Pass Road remain closed until they can be stabilized and hazards mitigated, and no camping is allowed along the Colo. 125 corridor. While road crews are expected to complete stabilization work on Buffalo Creek Road this fall, the damage to Cabin Creek, Kaufman Creek and some of the motorized trails in the area are quite extensive and these areas could remain closed for a longer period of time. A full map of the closure area is available on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests’ website.
The East Troublesome burned area managed by the Routt National Forest has reopened with the exception of the area closure for the ongoing 2021 Black Mountain Fire.
