Forest Road 250 is a 28. 8-mile maintained gravel road providing scenic access along the Conejos River from Highway 17 to Platoro Reservoir, with multiple developed campgrounds and pull-off areas for river access throughout.

The road is easy to moderate (Technical Rating 2), though conditions vary seasonally with washboarding and potholes common on the initial 5-6 miles, and becomes narrower with steeper grades beyond Platoro.

Multiple trailheads and fishing access points are available along the route, making it a key gateway for both vehicle-based recreation and backcountry hiking in the Rio Grande National Forest.
