About Deer Creek Road TH #5
The Montezuma area was discovered by miners and settled during the silver boom in 1863. The first part of Deer Creek Road is on a gentle incline that takes you through a broad valley. From this point on the road becomes steep and the valley narrows. Eventually the road leads you up to the Continental Divide with opportunities to connect to the Swan Drainage, Saints John or Radical Hill (technical 4WD road).
