Driving Directions
From Fairplay, take Colorado 9 to Alma. Continue north for about 1/2 mile and turn left on the Park County 6 road. The trailhead is 4.5 miles from here. Drive 1.4 miles and turn left onto Quartzville road. Near 2.2 miles, make a hard left at a confusing intersection. At 3.5 miles, stay right at the intersection of Zinc Road. There is an intersection at 4.0 miles and Mt. Lincoln is ahead of you. Keep right and continue around a bend. At about 4.1 miles, turn left onto a forest road (recently named Crest Drive). There are private property signs and this is where people used to park before the land owners blocked off the parking. Don't park here. Continue 1/2 mile up the 4WD road to reach the Quartzville USLM site on the right.
