Description

Poncha Creek Road is a more direct, albeit a bit rougher, Forest Service Road that leads you up to Marshall Pass - it's a great alternative if you want to beat some of the OHV traffic you'll inevitably find on Marshall Pass Road.

Top is still snowed in, had to hike-a-bike at Ouray Creek up to Marshall Pass Rd. Not recommended unless out-and-back. Give it 2-3 weeks at least.
