Driving Directions

From Aspen: From Aspen follow CO-82 West for 28 miles to CO-133. Turn left (south) on CO-133 toward Carbondale and follow the road for 22 miles to County Road 3. Turn left (east) on County Road 3 and drive 2.8 miles to the town of Marble. Drive through the town and continue past Beaver Lake on the now unpaved road to an intersection (2 miles past Marble and 1-mile beyond the lake). If you have a 4WD/high clearance vehicle take the left fork, Road #315 / Lead King Basin Road. (The right fork is Road #314 to Crystal.) Follow this steep, rough road, which stays to the left (north) of Lost Trail Creek, for 0.8 miles to the trailhead. The trailhead is located to the west of a stream crossing.

Passenger cars should find a good place to park off the road in the vicinity of the intersection of Road #315 and at #314 and walk the final 0.8 miles to the trailhead.
