Four Corners to Telluride – 131 Miles

The COBDR officially begins at the Four Corners Monument where the borders of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado converge. Lodging at the start of your journey can be found in nearby Durango or Cortez.

Follow paved roads to the small town of Dolores prior to heading onto the dirt. Riders can fill up with fuel before heading north on a mix of narrow two-track and wide-graded roads on the way toward Groundhog Reservoir. There is a small convenience store at the reservoir for drinks and snacks. While the official route follows a dirt road just before the town of Telluride, consider riding through this historic downtown and up to Bridal Veil Falls for amazing views down into the valley floor a thousand feet below.
