Who’s responsible for maintaining the road to Tumbledown Mountain?

SUN JOURNAL • September 23, 2025

Questions still linger over who is going to maintain Byron Road in Township 6 north of Weld, which is the gateway to Tumbledown Mountain, a popular hiking area in Franklin County. The road, which local officials say features a large and expanding hole, is in the unorganized territory but responsibility to fix it has fallen to Franklin County. However, the county does not have a single taxpayer living on the road, so commissioners have asked the Bureau of Parks and Lands to help maintain it.
