This trail is an old forest road and climbs gradually through large open meadows, with relics of old cabins and corrals, and some aspen and spruce-fir forest near the top. <br />
The line shack is a small cabin that lies at the end of the trail. The line shack offers a good place for lunch and a vantage point of some views of the Gore Range and Beaver Creek ski area. Evidence of old ski runs shows that this was once an old ski area.
Exit I-70 on exit 171 and get on Highway 24 heading towards Minturn. Enter the Ranger Station <br />on the right side of the road and park in the parking lot.
