| Description: |
Larimer County Road 82E is an easy road that crosses over the pass known as Prairie Divide. The east end leaves County Road 80C and heads west over rolling hills passing remote ranches. The road is a maintained gravel road. There will be ranch roads that leave the county road. Where the road narrows near a driveway you will continue up a hill along a fence line. At an intersection stay to the left, continuing up hill.

The road will pass a few more houses as it comes to a low hill. The road will be narrower here as it cuts across the hill side. At the top of the hill the road will switchback and you will be on top of Prairie Divide.
From here the road passes an intersection that heads down to County Road 67J, or continues down hill, also connecting with 67J.
