Notes from John: I accessed the gap from Mancos going north on 184 a short way before turning right onto road 42,
then continued past Mancos State Park where the road became 561 and continued northeast until 350 where I made
a right turn and followed east to the gap. There were beautiful aspen groves in this area and the only negatives
were the conditions were dry and the road was dusty.
