Particularly Special Place
Description
Zodiac Ridge is the aggressively-toothy ridgeline north of Red Peak which looms above Upper Willow Lake. The peaks are named after zodiacal constellations. See if you can figure out which is which. Willow Lake is the best place to see it (not to mention being a fun trail to get there).
Half-Day Run: The Willow Lake Trail is the way to get here. Access is via Mesa Cortina or other Gore Range Trail access points.
Gem Type: Rock Formation

Update
Dry - fyi, if you do the loop the other way (clockwise), that trail from Gore to Willow is NOT correct. That trail is closed and there is a new one open slightly more north. there is a trail on the map where this route says but it is no longer operational (fwiw alltrails has the correct entrance). if you go counterclockwise, you'll be forced onto the new path anyway.
