Here you will encounter a confluence of different singletrack trails and gravel roads. About a mile up the gravel road to the north is Carson, an old well-preserved ghost town. Section 22 of the Colorado Trail runs east, and section 23 heads south. The Continental Divide Trail follows the same route as the CT.
