New Tracks Available for Download
A new version of the COBDR tracks is available for download labeled COBDR-May2025
This update includes a few minor refinements and a few new updates expanding on the August 2024 revisions:
SECTION 2:
- The original track for section 2 main route has been reclassified as an optional ALT Harder track due to deteriorating conditions from landslides, avalanches, and overuse by SideBySides and Jeeps causing more hazardous road conditions than when originally designed.
- As such, the previous Bypass track between Telluride and Lake City has now become the new main route for section 2 and has been improved upon.
See attached screenshots for reference.
Purchase the COBDR map HERE. A new 4th Edition map is currently in design and will reflect these track changes, expected late June 2025.
