Running
The Uncompahgre Peak Trail climbs steeply up the peak from here. There is a short class 2 section near the top, but this route is very doable. You can also take the Big Blue Creek Trail north of here up a short but steep set of switchbacks to another junction. From there you can take the relatively flat Ridge Stock Driveway Trail along the ridge above treeline to get fantastic views of the north Uncompahgre Wilderness or dive into the remote northern mountain valleys.
