Italian Creek Road would make a great base camp for people that want a large area to ride on but don't want to move their camp. Dorchester Campground is on Taylor River Road but most people were just camping along the road.
The trail starts in a large open area then goes through a wooded section with a gate that must be opened and
closed, the trail opens up later at higher elevations.
All the white rocks laying around the area are from the glaciers that carver the valley. The rocks were
taken from the higher elevations and dropped in the valley as the glaciers melted.
All of the trail past the fence are open range land so watch for cattle in
the trail. This interesting house is at about the halfway point of
the trail.
Besides being a great place to ride ATVs the area would be best for use by motorcycle since they can ride
all the single track trails know as Cement Creek. After you pass the second gate continue straight to go back to Crested
Butte.
