There are great views of the Dillon Reservoir and the entire Blue River Valley from the trailhead. On this out-and-back trail, much of it is in a Wilderness Area so your dog must be leashed.
From I-70 take Exit 205, Silverthorne / Dillon, and travel north on HWY 9 to the first traffic light at the intersection of Rainbow Drive / Wildernest Road. Turn left onto Wildernest Road (this road turns into Ryan Gulch Road). Travel for 3.6 miles to the top of Ryan Gulch Road. Towards the end of the road there will be a parking area on the left. Park in this area. Ryan Gulch Road continues on into a loop. The trailhead will be on the southern end of the loop. The trailhead is next to a road with a chain across it.
