Used as part of the longer, notable Colorado backcountry route, Waunita-Black Sage can be driven to connect Waunita Pass to US 50 or over the Old Monarch Pass. Once under the tree canopy, one campsite is at the highest elevation near the signage of Blacksage Pass. On the southern half is the Waunita Hot Spring Ranch, which has excellent reviews and would be a nice stay if on a multi-day overlanding route. This route is suitable for any high-clearance vehicle in dry conditions.
