Snodgrass isn't as steep or remote of a trails as many near Crested Butte. The trailhead is just a short drive from town, and it meanders through a beautiful aspen forest as it slowly climbs to the open meadows at the top of the ridge. For such a short little trail, that is close to town, this is really stunning!
Head north out of Crested Butte towards the resort, hang a left on Washington Gulch, and the trail starts a couple miles down on the right. Snodgrass runs between Washington Gulch and Gothic road, so you could start on either end, or loop it. If you are riding it as an out and back, park down on Washington so you can do most of the climbing at the beginning.
