We will park our cars on Geneva/Guanella Pass Rd and walk approximately 1 mile on Bruno Gulch Road, past several camp sites, to the official trailhead.  The trail gradually ascends through the forest as it parallels a creek.  It passes by some beaver ponds, through some aspen groves, and ultimately ends in a meadow where it intersects with South Park Trail #600. This clearing will make a nice place for lunch/snack.  Then, we’ll turn around and go back the way we came.

Here is a Caltopo map for our route.

Be prepared for wind especially at the start.

We’ll then carpool to the intersection of Geneva/Guanella Pass Rd and Bruno Gulch Rd (Intersection of Geneva/Guanella Pass Rd and Bruno Gulch Road).
