From Fraser, CO. head northwest on US-40 W/Zerex Street toward Fraser Ave and continue to follow US-40 W for 0.6 miles. Turn left onto County Road 5 and go 0.2 miles. Turn left onto CR 50 and go 0.3 miles. Turn right at the 1st cross street to stay on CR 50 and go 1.6 miles. Turn right onto CR 50 and go 6.5 miles. Continue onto CR 50 and go 7.9 miles. Turn sharp left onto Third Park road.
Third Park leaves the Beaver Creek, FR133, road below Blue Ridge as a two track and heads north up the Beaver Creek valley. You will come out into an open area that slopes down to the creek and then head back into the trees. In the trees you will come to an intersection. The road on the right is an un-numbered road that heads down to Beaver Creek and ends at a turn around. Stay left on the main road heading through the forest, still above the creek. The forest will get thicker as you head up the valley. The road will cross a few shallow side drainages before coming out into an open meadow along the side of the creek. The road will cross this area and then end in the trees next to Beaver Creek.
