Driving Directions

At 10,980 feet, this trailhead provides access to the west sides of Pacific, Crystal, Atlantic and Drift Peaks. The trailhead is on Colorado 91 and can be approached from either the north or the south.

From the north, go 6.1 mile south on 91 from the junction of Interstate 70 and 91 to a pull-off on the left at Clinton Reservoir. Approaching from the south, go 4.1 miles north on 91 from the summit of Freemont Pass and turn right into the parking area. There is plenty of parking here.

4 Wheel Drive Trailhead

In summer, 4WD vehicles can go 1.6 miles further along this rough road to 11,560 feet near the Boston Mine.

"I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."   --Albert Camus
