Via Grouse Gulch Trailhead, you can start your hike up the Hardrock 100 Route that leads to the American Basin and Handies Peak. The trailhead is located along the Alpine Loop and should be accessed with a high-clearance vehicle. A passenger vehicle will struggle with the rough road conditions starting shortly after Eureka. There is a parking lot for about ten cars.
