"Plenty of GPS tracks to follow if you look. Since the hiking route to the mountain is not signed best to download tracks. Route starts from the parking area for Lily Lake Trailhead. Much of the route is trailed and requires crossing the Huerfano River (an obvious log jam which is the best place to cross if you don't want to get your feet wet). Multiple trail threads present from the river but seem to meet. At the boundary for the Trinchera Blanca Ranch there's a large sign noting that a waiver is required to proceed otherwise you're trespassing. Waiver is done online at a designated website: https://www.mountlindseywaiver.com. If you're using trekking poles leave your poles at the sign as you won't need them and you definitely don't want to leave them on the access ridge above due to klepto marmots who will steal them (Ask me how I know). Class III scramble, helmet highly recommended due to loose rock. Trailhead access road: From CO-69 turn onto CR-550. Road is paved but turns to graded gravel and eventually just an uneven dirt and rocky road. High clearance vehicle is necessary to reach the trailhead.

"Got to the trailhead in the afternoon and decided that the next few hours were the best window for weather. We started hiking around 4:30 PM and managed to summit just before it got completely dark. The clouds and the sunset made for a really awesome experience and once it got dark we could see a distant cloud lighting up with lightning. Got back to the car just as it was starting to drizzle." — Yosemike • Sep 11, 2013
