Description

Nine Style is naturally defined by two drainages on its north and south side, and East Creek to the east and the canyon wall to the west. The boulders are densely scattered throughout the area and range from small to huge in size. The rock quality is generally poor, but there are definite exceptions.

The area is entirely shaded by late afternoon making it a good summer destination. Also, access may be difficult during spring runoff as East Creek can run fairly high.

Getting There

There are two pullouts that allow access to the area. From the intersection of US-50/CO HWY 141, the first and second pullout are 2.4 and 2.7 miles on road right. From the pullout of your choice, cross East Creek and climb a short hill and you're there.
