Hiking and exploring the upper reaches of Madden Road are the main draws at this free dispersed pulloff in San Juan National Forest. The road starts manageable but gets progressively rougher, and high clearance is required to reach the upper end. Campers report roughly 50 potential stopping points along the way, with open sightlines toward the surrounding mountains at several spots. Trash service is available. A nearby option for comparison is Madden Peak Road - Dispersed, about 1.7 miles southwest. Come prepared with a capable vehicle and check road conditions before heading up.
