While not a destination in itself, Flag Divide serves as a wonderful connector road between two popular trail networks in the incredibly scenic Gunnison National Forest. This trail rides the saddle between the Spring Creek and Cement Creek basins and offers beautiful vistas of the mountains just north of Crested Butte. Dispersed camping can be found off this trail, but only a handful of viable sites exist. You will need a 4WD with a transfer case and good tires to complete the entirety of this trail, as there are several deep mud holes, steep pitches, and exposed tree roots that you will need to climb up and over.
