Herman Gulch trailhead.  This is also the Watrous Gulch trailhead.  

Exit 218 off of I70.  Coordinates 39.702406, -105.854361

Meet at the Herman Gulch Trailhead at 7 AM- this is also the Watrous Gulch Trailhead. 

Exit 218 off of  I70. Meeting time 7am. If you are coming from Summit County drive I70 East through the tunnel and get off at Exit 218 (exit after Loveland Pass). Go under the highway and take a right on a dirt road. The trailhead is not far down this service road. If coming from the Denver area, drive west on I70 unit Exit 218. It doesn't say anything except the exit number. Make a hard right when you get off I70 and follow the dirt service road to the trailhead. You will have each other's emails (see Notes section) so if you want to set up carpools you can do that. I am not carpooling right now.
