huh?I'm not sure this road exists anymore. I went up the CO Trail and caught the road where it meets the CO Trail. On the way down, I tried following the road until it petered out in a creek bed, severely eroded. I ended up bushwacking over to the old CO trail, then had to wade across the S. Platte because there was no evidence of a bridge where this road is marked on the map. When did you hike this?

From the westI hiked this road from the west and not the east. It was a good road 90% of the way, then it wasn't as good near the point where I left it to bushwhack south to the peak.
