coolbroth canyon cabin directions Hwy 285 between Alamosa and Saguache, to road G, turn west There will be a sign for La Garita There will also be a brown sign for Penitente Canyon There are left turn lanes for G. Directions once you turn on G: 5 miles on G the road turns right (North) in 0.25 miles the road turns left (West) and you'll pass through the thriving metropolis of La Garita, home of the La Garita Trading Post Say goodbye to cellphone signal shortly after La Garita 5.9 miles from starting on G the road forks. Bear right onto the pavement, road becomes 41G. 9.3 miles from starting on G the pavement will end After 11.8 miles from starting on G, turn left on J36. J36 is a few hundred yards after the rock formation Hellgate (big rocky cliffs to both sides) There will be a green street sign for J36 (hiding by a tree). NOTE: after this point a reasonably high clearance vehicle is recommended, think subaru or better It usually takes me about 30 minutes from this point in my F350. Turn left on J36 to cross a stream and down into a meadow, then head up a little one lane road to the right. If you need to drop off a trailer there is a fair sized meadow after the first hill on J36. The area around the creek after turning off 41G is all private property. Once on J36 you will go 3.4 miles until the road forks, take the right hand fork. USFS 672 is the left fork, trust me you don't want to drive 672! In 100 yards or so, you will see a little white "No Trespassing" sign on the left. Go .2 of a mile from the fork and at the top of the hill, take the left fork followed immediately by a right fork towards the blue number sign for 82305. Then follow the marking ribbons .3 of a mile to the cabin. Bear left onto the more travelled road. Unless you want to visit the pond. lat/long: 37d53m13.2s N 106d24m41.2s W |
