On my way to Chaco Canyon and other points, I investigated the old road that descends from some old cabins below treeline on the slopes of South Parry Peak or nearby, at the end of Mt. Elbert’s long southeast ridge, to Route 82 just west of Twin Lakes. I’ve descended this twice on traverses of Mt. Elbert (North Parry Peak is near James Peak above Winter Park/Mary Jane, and Loch Lomond). All I found was NO TRESPASSING signs. Ugh! I’m glad I followed this down not up both times. (I returned to Half Moon via the Colorado Trail after a night on the trail or in the Nordic Inn). I don’t remember these horrid signs, which I’d like to make a bonfire of as usual. I thought it was San Isabel N.F.
