The southern approach profiled here goes along US285,
since this is the most direct route. US285 is a busy 4
lane road, generally with a wide shoulder. Cycling on it
is legal and (on this section) safer than many 2 lane
roads, although the shoulders can be sandy in the
spring. However substituting the Deer
Creek Canyon shoulder summit, and South Turkey Creek
Road for the lower southern approach is a better option.
