This route uses 3 FS roads to connect Delta-Nucla Road with Divide Rd. It is a section of the 141 mile Tabeguache Trail that connects Montrose to Grand Junction. Ridden as a loop with Divide and Delta-Nucla Rd, it makes a very nice 37 mile ride with ~2000 feet of elevation gain. Cottonwood Rd (FS 504) is very well maintained and largely flat 6 mile dirt road. It ends at Cabin Bench Rd (FS 501). Turn left on Cabin Bench Rd and ride for 5 miles, most of it climbing, to the intersection with Love Mesa Rd (FS 500). Turn left here and climb to Divide Road. Love Mesa Rd is an ATV trail and the roughest of the 3 roads, but still suitable for gravel bikes. I've ridden it comfortably on 40cc tires.
