The road to the summit, located in the Wheeler Wildeness Area of the Sangre de Cristo Range, is gravel, rocky, tippy and bumpy at times. It’s a chairlift access trail impassable in winters. Great trail for experienced wheelers. Avoid driving in this area if unpaved mountain roads aren't your strong point. 4x4 required. Stay away if you're scared of heights. Expect a trail pretty steep. Wet conditions may make for tough driving along the muddy road.
