Description

Forest Service Road 110, known as the Halfmoon Road, follows the southern border of the Mount Massive Wilderness. It provides access to several popular campgrounds, as well as two of the most popular trailheads on the Leadville district, the Mount Massive trailhead and the North Elbert Trailhead. From the Mount Massive Trailhead, visitors can access the beautiful Mount Massive Wilderness.

ALERT: Many Campgrounds around Turquoise Lake and all campgrounds down the Halfmoon Creek road (FSR 110) on the #LeadvilleRD will not open for Memorial Day weekend (2019) as planned. Heavy winter snows have impeded the clearing of sites and other accesses. Twin Lakes Campgrounds are expected to open on schedule.

There are many opportunities for recreation along this road, which leads to very busy summer months.
