From the tee where you parked, head SE on the 4x4 road a couple miles until the intersection with Rd 311--turn East on 311. Bypass Motorized trail 1414 on the right and road 311E on the left. Go through the cattleguard and proceed another mlle and look for road 311D on your left. These 4X4 roads are often sandy and have some short but very steep climbs. Take 311 D which will soon deadend at a parking area and the start of the singletrack. 5 miles of singletrack will then drop you back at another parking lot at the end of 373A which will deposit you back at your vehicle. The singletrack starts as a gradual climb on narrow, often overgrown tread, then makes a sharp, rocky,,switchback climb before a series of ups and downs and a drop to an old homestead by a boggy area. Cross the bog, make the final climb to the top of the ridge, then enjoy a seriously rocky drop back to the road. Again, this is all crystal clear with the map.

From US 24 in Buena Vista, turn East on Main Street then North on Colorado Avenue (aka rd 371). Cross the Arkansas River then turn Northeast road 375 (about 100 yards before the first tunnel). Follow this until you see a right turn on Foumile Cutoff Road 375A. From this point, you will need a high clearance vehicle. Follow 375A until it tees into 373--take the left fork ont 373 and follow it a couple more miles until you see an option to go straight or turn right. Park at this tee. This is all easy to follow if you have Trails Illustrated Map #129 "Buena Vista/Collegiate Peaks."
