Vehicles accessing National Forest System lands should not park here. Follow the City Springs Road (NFSR 834) and signage for another 4 miles to the parking area and the trail beginning. High clearance or four wheel drive recommended. The Forest Service parking area has limited space for horse or ATV trailers. This seasonal road crosses a Colorado State Wildlife Area (SWA). Colorado SWAs require a hunting license, fishing license or SWA pass for entry. However, the Forest Service asserts fee-free through access from the SWA to National Forest System lands under Wilkenson v. Department of Interior (D. Colo. 1986) caselaw. If you are not a holder of a pass or license, stay on the road right of way until reaching the National Forest Boundary sign.
