We will leave some cars at the North Tenmile Creek Trailhead, then proceed to the Wheeler Junction TH with the rest of the cars. For the Wheeler Jct TH, park at the open space near the Conoco station across CO 91 from Copper Mountain. Although you may see cars parked in the small area off the I-70 exit, parking is not allowed there.
We will leave the parking area, cross Highway 91, and follow the road over I-70. Then we'll take the trail up the hill. After 2.1 miles a side trail breaks off to Wheeler Lakes. Continue up above treeline and past a lake to Uneva Pass, about 5.2 miles from the trailhead. Continue along the trail down the pass to the northwest (don’t take the spur that heads northeast) to North Tenmile Trail. Take North Tenmile trail down along North 10 mile creek to the North Tenmile Creek TH. We will then return via car to the Wheeler JCT TH to pick-up the remaining cars.
