Summary


This Trailhead sits right behind  the Alder Guard Station Cabin and the trail climbs the ridge to the west.  From here you have excellent views of the Rio Grande Canyon between South Fork and Creede.  This trail goes another 5 miles north to Forest Service Road 602.  The trail is open to motorcycles, mountain bikes, hikers and horses but is steep and rocky in many places.  The trailhead is small and only adequate for smaller vehicles.
