“A 4WD road turned rugged running trail - hit just below 13,000' feet on this tough-going doubletrack.”

Description
The first 1/2 mile is fairly level, then it begins to climb. There are some steep uphills and at the 1 1/2 mile mark there is a foot bridge, here you'll need to ford the stream. The road continues to climb through spruce groves crossing a vehicle bridge and immediately becoming steeper and more rugged. Three miles up the road, the Mace cabin is passed on the right. A quarter mile past the cabin the road to Pearl Pass forks steeply to the left. At this fork bear right. Keeping right, the road soon climbs some steep, continuous switchbacks. The road is very narrow and rugged in some areas. It ends at a parking area at the base of Castle Peak.
