Location

A short climb off a BLM road, south of the I-70 Sulphur exit.

Participants

Expedition

A half hour out of Grand Junction, Colorado, we took the Sulphur exit, immediately passed a mysterious natural-resources depot of some sort with a lot of recent construction, and then went 3 or 4 miles down a BLM road that paralleled the freeway for a while before wandering north into the desert. From our parking spot to the hashpoint was about 600 meters of continuous upward climb through scrubby forest, some of it along what was probably a motorbike or mountain biking path. It was a lovely morning walk on a bright, cold December day, and the views back to the north were pretty spectacular.

After walking back out, we got back on the freeway and headed west towards 2023-12-27 39 -111.
