Getting There:
The trail is located off Colorado Highway 62 between Ridgway and Telluride. From the highway, turn onto Dallas Creek Road (CR 7 / FR 851) and drive 9 miles south to the trailhead. Although you won't need a 4WD vehicle, 2WD vehicles will have to take their time in a couple of spots where you'll encounter washboard and ruts along the dirt/gravel road. The trail begins just past the locked gate at the end of the road
