Upper Middle - Rock Crawling Trail

If exiting Middle Middle, take a right at the T-intersection and travel east, uphill about 130 yards. From I70, take exit 140 into Gypsum. Upon exiting the highway, reset your odometer and head north on Trail Gulch Road. The road will quickly take a left-hand sweeping turn south, and then another right-hand sweeping turn north. There are large parking areas at 1 mile and 1.2 miles to accommodate any trailers. At 1.4 miles, continue left at the Y intersection. Follow Trail Gulch Road for another 2.5 miles, through two switchbacks till you reach the top of the bluff where there is a kiosk with a trail map of the area. From this kiosk, head east and continue on trail gulch road. At 5.6 miles from the highway, you will pass an old cabin on your right (south) letting you know you are still in the correct area. Shortly after this cabin, at 5.9 miles, take a left turn and head north on 8474B staying on this main route till you reach 7.3 miles. At this point, you will see what may be a slightly filled pond or a dried up pond (it was dry in the summer and fall) on your right. Shortly after this pond, there is a right-hand turn onto 8488. There is a very large and open camp area here. This is the start of the GPX track to Middle Middle. Follow this for 1.2 miles and veer left at the Y-intersection described as waypoint 2 of Middle Middle. Follow this road straight through a 4-way intersection at .55 miles. Follow this dirt track for another mile, making no deviations, until you reach the trailhead sign marking Upper Middle.
