Approaches

From West  CR62 turns away from CR129 in Glen Eden. The unpaved road slowly rises above a ravine. On the west side are Picket Mountain, Saddle Mountain and Sand Mountain, bordered by a few cliffs. Just when reaching Steamboat Lake on the west side, CR42 and the route followed by the Great Divide bike route takes off to the left, direction FR42 Mill Creek Rd s(u). For CR62 the nicest views are still ahead as it makes its way around the north side of the lake. It reaches its highest point a short distance before joining CR129

From East. (described downwards) A short section of the road coming down from Columbine Pass has a shoulder for the first part. Approaching Glen Eden it gets narrower.


Dayride with this point as highest summit:
