Highway 24. Take a
left at the main
traffic light toward
Cottonwood Pass. The
road will be paved
all the way to the

on the other side.
This road is well
maintained but
narrow with many
hairpin turns. There
will be sections of
washboard conditions
and often potholes
to avoid. Follow all
the way until it
ends at Taylor
Reservoir. Turn left
toward Gunnison and
follow the road
around the reservoir
and eventually into

23 miles to Three
