How to get there: Take US 285 west to Pine Junction, turn left on CO126, drive south for 22 miles through the towns of Pine and Buffalo Creek. As soon as you past Wigwam Campground be on the lookout (.25 mile) for the turn onto the road to Cheesman Lake (CR211). Continue up the narrow winding gravel road for approximately 3 miles. At the top, make a right turn (do not descend to Cheesman Lake) and follow CR211 another 9 miles to Goose Creek Campground, continue an additional 2 miles, turn right on the first major road. Continue until you dead end at the trailhead parking area. The trail: Take the trailhead on the west side of the parking area to the bottom of the decline; turn left at Hankins Pass Trail (FS630). Follow the trail which gradually works its way uphill. About halfway up (2 miles) to the pass there is a nice aspen meadow with active beaver ponds, a good campsite. There is also good drinking water in this area.
