Getting there
Take I-70 to Wolcott and travel north on highway 131 toward the community of Toponas. Just before Toponas at the old school house, turn left and go west on Routt County Road 5. Travel approximately 2 miles and make a left on Road 5A. Travel south on 5A about one mile to the parking area. The trailhead provides access to the 12,000 acre King Mountain Area, which has scenic vistas, and offers hiking, horseback riding, hunting, and camping in an uncrowded setting.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 8.9 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
