Description

This road begins at a creek crossing and T's off from Baldwin Creek Road #277. It's steep and loose right of the gate. And the difficulty continues all the way up to Mt. Antero. ATV's, 4x4 vehicles, and motos are common, which also means there are options to get to the top other than pedaling/hiking... if you have a capable vehicle.

13,100', the highest point if you climbed up FS277 to FS278 to get here. Mt White is in the near background. Little Brown's starts in the saddle.
