Piedra Trail Access provides entry to the Piedra River Trail (#596), an 11-mile scenic hiking route featuring spectacular box canyons and river views accessible from two trailheads via Piedra Road (CR 600/FS 631) or First Fork Road (FS 622).

The upper trailhead near Piedra Road offers easier access (19 miles from Pagosa Springs) and is ideal for day hikes to the sandstone box canyon (0. 6 miles) or Williams Creek Bridge (1.

7 miles), while the lower trailhead provides a more remote experience for through-hikers. This roadless area is managed to maintain wilderness character and allows foot travel and whitewater craft access to the undammed Piedra River.
