Gold Dust Trailhead is just north of Como which is about 50 miles southwest of Denver and located in South Park. How to get there: Take US 285 west from Denver over the top of Kenosha Pass and down into South Park. About halfway between Kenosha Pass and Fairplay is Como. It is an old railroad town and is located on the north side of US 285. (Como is on the Colorado State Highway Map.) Turn off at Como onto a plowed county road (CR50); passing through what is left of Como. In about four miles Boreas Pass Road (FSR33) goes off to the right, stays left, and continues up the valley. In another .5 mile, you will pass the road to Selkirk CG (FSR801), and continue to your left. Most of the land along the road from Como is private. One mile from the Selkirk CG road there is a small portion of National Forest land. The Gold Dust Trail crosses the road at this point. To identify the Forest Service land a small sign entitled “Winter Trail” is on the east side of the road. Park your car at this point. Back from the road about 40 yards, there is another sign “Gold Dust Trail.” Unpack your gear and go into the trees on the east side along the trail. Many times in winter there is no snow under these trees.
