Overlook Lake Granby and the Continental Divide from a high shelf
below Big and Little
Gravel Mountain in The Arapaho National Forest. Moose, wildflowers,
and some crazy trails set to music using a Kurzweil K2500
synthesizer (live, one track, no layers).
Adaptions are of "You Better Watch Out" and "The Sound of Music".
Land is all in Grand Lake's big back yard, open to public use.
Here are the directions for the 2-hour drive to the Trail Head from
Denver.
Take I-70 west to the Hwy. 40 turnoff to Empire, Winter Park and
Rocky Mountain National Park. This is well before the Eisenhower
Tunner.
Take Hwy. 40 over Berthoud Pass and through to Winter Park, Fraser
and
the far side of Granby. There you will turn northward onto Hwy. 34
where 34 makes a T with Hwy. 40. After about 3 miles you will be
ascending
a hill and start cruising along side of scenic Lake Granby with fine
views
of the Continental Divide and Indian Peaks Wilderness across the
lake.
Near the northern reach of your cruise along Lake Granby, you'll
turn westward onto County Road 4 where it makes a T with Hwy. 34.
There are large storage centers (for all your off-road toys) on both
sides
of the intersection. There is also a small Forest Service sign
indicating that
Road 4 is your route to National Forest camping and fun. The
National
Forest begins just two miles up Road 4, just after its pavement
ends.
One mile further up Road 4 (now called Forest Service Road 123),
take the left fork. You'll see the large Idle Glenn Staging Area for
unloading off-road vehicles. This is the 2-hour point from Denver.
From there, our video starts a few miles up Road 123. In the summer,
a regular car can be driven several miles up to where there is a
major
fork for access over Stillwater Pass or to Gravel Mountain to the
left.
