This is the second of three pleasant forested divides on Co78, along the east side of the Wet Mountains

Approaches

From North. Looking on a map, I thought that a forest road down South Hardscrabble Creek reaches the lowest point between the Wixson Divide and the Bigelow Divide. However this road is actually a trail, and I have not checked it out on a bicycle yet.

Staying on pavement on the short climb to Bigelow Divide, Co67 makes its only wide turn, that could be called a switchback on its route between Mc Kenzie Jct and Colorado City.

From South. (described downwards) A short roll leads to the next low point, where the climb to the Greenhill Divide starts. In this area is the turnoff to a road that reaches the crest of the Wet Mountains, all the way to Greenhorn Mountain.
