The mega classic "Rocky Mountain Wildflowers" is a must do and there are many testpieces for climbers of any ability. The nature of the rock can be a bit rough and sharp in sections but there are also sections of pristine edges and slopers. From the roadside ditch parking, cross the road and find a trail that heads up the eastern side of the small drainage with a culvert heading under the road. Follow the trail as it heads up and along the hillside through some steep sections and switchbacks. The trail deposits you at the "Cowboy Crypt" area, to head to the other areas, follow the trail on the Southern edge of the boulders further up the hillside.
