Webster Pass is accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicles during the summer, but in the winter it is only accessible by cross-country skis or snowmobiles. It is 3 miles one-way and can take 2.5 to 3 hours one-way. How to get there: Take your choice of highways to the Keystone Ski Area east of Dillon. Enter the eastern access road to the ski area. Within a few hundred feet turn left, away from the ski area, this is the road to Montezuma, FSR5. Montezuma was once a mining camp but has declined over the years. There are still some homes occupied during the winter months and a number of summer homes in this old community. Montezuma is about a 5-mile drive from the Keystone intersection. Drive through Montezuma to where the snowplow efforts stop, about a mile. Park your vehicles here, noted on the map as (P)3. There will be a cleared area (no trees) to the south and during the summer it’s the continuation of the road. Ski south on this road until you notice the terrain ahead of you is starting uphill. Look for a narrow road intersection (ski trail during winter) to your left, on the east side. This is the Webster Pass Road. Follow it east for a short distance, then it turns south and continues in a southerly direction all the way to Webster Pass. There will be trees for a while but they will gradually fade out and the surrounding area will become more barren. The trail has a slight incline until the final segment, which is a steep hill with a saddle to the southeast. A switchback jeep road works its way up the side of this hill, following the switchbacks to the top. Look down the other side, your view is the Hall Valley and beyond, US 285. Note: Webster Pass Road is noted as FSR285 on the White River National Forest map.
