Air Up/Down
Good place to air down or up adjacent to Taylor Lake, if touring some of the surrounding unpaved routes.

Coffee Shop
City on a Hill coffee shop in downtown Leadville, Colorado. Good coffee and pastries. There’s a line very early in the morning. This coffee shop gets busier with every passing season, and hikers and runners get their early starts here.

Gas Station
A Loves gas station. It’s a good place to top off and resupply, but is often pretty busy.

Gnarly Rock Obstacle
The most challenging obstacle on the road to Pomeroy Lake. It consists of a rocky ascent of staggered steps. High-clearance or lightly modified 4x4 required. There is a clean line that is fairly straightforward, but there is still a lot that can go wrong. There is a bypass so it is not required.

Grizzly Lake Gatekeeper
This marks the entrance to the Grizzly Lake four-wheel drive route, involves rock crawling. There is a gatekeeper after a stream crossing that might require a winch ascent at this very point. Alone in my old Land Rover, I opted to turn around here and go elsewhere.
