Take CO 135 north out of Gunnison and watch for County Road 730 on the left. That will take you past The Castles and up into the Gunnison National Forest. Turn right on County Road 12 or Kebler Pass Road which takes you into Crested Butte. Forest Road 826 will take you into the Lake Irwin USFS campground at 10,000 feet. There are also boondocking possibilities in that area of the Gunnison National Forest. http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5190638.pdf
