This is a demanding run through the Colorado Rockies, moving from dark spruce-fir forest into open meadows that bloom with blue lupines and Indian paintbrush in wildflower season. Views open to cirques and jagged peaks, including Precarious Peak, before reaching the upper basin of Rustler's Gulch. The access road is steep and rocky, so a high-clearance 4x4 may be needed; otherwise park lower down and walk the extra mile.
A 16.8 km out-and-back route from Mount Crested Butte to run or cycle, with 583 m of climbing.
