Moose Creek Trailhead

Location:  Mosquito Range
14ers Served:  Mt. Bross, Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Cameron, Mt. Democrat
Road Type:  2WD Dirt and plowed to the TH in winter.
Winter Access:  Quarzville road is plowed. The start of Zinc Road is plowed, so there is usually parking for a few cars.
Directions:  From Fairplay, take Colorado 9 to the town of Alma. From the center of Alma, continue north for about 1/2 mile and turn left on the Park County 6 road. After 1.4 miles, turn left onto Quartzville road. Near 2.2 miles, stay left at a confusing intersection. Near 3.5 miles, reach the intersection of Zinc Road. This is the trailhead. Zinc road turns left and is usually not plowed in winter. Park at the road junction, but be sure not block either road.
