Music Pass Trail

You have to have either a truck or SUV and if you want to bypass about 4 miles of rocky road hiking take a 4 wheel vehicle. It is totally worth it... beautiful!...

South Crestone Lake
Trail is awful, disappearing and reappearing every now and again. Thorn bushes and trash cover what little trail is easy to navigate. Trail disappears completely before you actually reach the lake. Also it appears that an axe murderer has taken up residence in the upperwoods. Be careful and travel in large groups if you plan to try and make it to the lake. It is easy to get lost so mark your trail well....
