1 (0=Paved, 6=Very Difficult 4WD)There are parking areas on both sides of the road, probably enough room for 10 or so vehicles parallel parked. No bathrooms or other facilities, but if you drive another 2.6 miles west up to the bottom of Hinsdale County Road 23 (the road to Nellie Creek Traillead) there is a bathroom there.
From the corner of Bluff Street and 1st Street in Lake City (where Hinsdale County Road 20 begins) drive 2.5 miles west on CR-20 to the signed trailhead. The trail begins by dropping south off the road and crossing a bridge.
Open in winter.
