Route Description

From the junction of Highway 24 and 91 at the north end of Leadville, take Highway 24 north for 7.3 miles. Take a left onto a dirt road (Road #19). At this left turn there is a sign mounted on an antique road-grader for Webster’s Sand and Gravel – where you’ll find 10th Mountain’s Crane Park Trailhead parking. Park in a designated parking spot, and start your hike.

Hike on Road #19 for approximately 1 mile until you reach the Wurtz Ditch Road (#705) – turn right onto Wurtz Ditch Road (#705) and continue for about 1/2 mile to where the Colorado Trail intersects the road. Turn right onto the Colorado Trail and in approximately 1 3/4 miles you’ll turn left onto a spur-trail. Follow this spur-trail a short distance to the Continental Divide and Point Breeze Cabins.
