Trail: Ellingwood Point

Trail Identifier:     T104-S117

Location:  Blanca, CO 81123

Trailhead Location: From the intersection of Colorado 160 and Colorado 150 (East of Alamosa) head north on Colorado 150 for 3.1 miles. There is no sign for the road to turn on, but it us just after the 3 mile marker on the right side. Turn here. After a quarter of a mile you will pass a sign letting you know you are in Wilderness area. Continue on this road as far as you are willing to go. The road quickly turns from sand to rock and becomes quite rough. If you are driving a passenger car you won't get far. Standard 4x4's will make it to maybe 10,500. The road goes to Como Lake, but unless you own a Rock Crawler you'll have to walk most of the way.
