I'm looking to do the Electric/De Anza/Gibbs group from the east. Is there any sort of access to the eastern end of the South Brush Creek Trail (#1355)? Anyone ever try to hike them this way? Most TRs seem to be from the west side (Major Creek Trail, #751).
It looks as if there are roads that enter the national forest, meaning one can park/camp on public land. Access would be via Verdemont Road (county road 182) off CO 69.
This should not be confused with the NORTH Brush Creek trail (#1356), which has clear access from the east but is a longer route.

Re: South Brush Creek Trail, east side of Sangres
Just climbed electric from north brush creek. We got a little turned around and ended up driving around a couple other approach roads. Not sure if we drove the approach road you are talking about but in a couple places the locals made it very clear that they did not take kindly to people looking for national forest access. Chains and big warning signs.
