Claim Access Options

[Modern Day Miner]

I was wondering about access to a certain claim. There is a closed forest service road that goes through private property. Do I have a right to use this road/trail to access my claims.
Or is this something that would require me getting private property owners permission to go through his land to get to my claims?

Thanks

OK, so I hate to be the one that brings up an old post, but now I'm running onto the same with one of my claims. My claim on Mt Buckhorn has been nothing but hassle with claimjumpers and vandals, but the biggest problem I'm having right now is getting access to the locked gates on High Drive. High dr was closed to motorized RECREATIONAL traffic, and if I have to park at the bottom and haul all my equipment in on my back every time not only does it take time, but I am also disabled (spinal injury, with multiple reconstructions). Each gate has multiple locks daisy chained belonging to city of CO Springs and USFS. High Drive is also known as Forest Development Road (FDR) 380. I have visited multiple offices and left multiple messages with different departments to no avail. Somehow got passed off on a transfer to the GIS office who actually told me "unofficially, I'd just cut a link and add your lock on too. Access is your right as a valid claimholder". Anyone have any ideas? Back in AZ this was no problem, the USFS office met me at the gate to unlock it and let me add mine in to the loop
