Past Burrow Bridge an unnamed road takes off to the north. The trail is signed where it leaves the road by the San Juan National Forest. While it is good mountain biking along Ophir Pass and on the road along the hillside, it is not recommended beyond the trailhead. This 'secret' spot is usually frequented by only a few locals due to its isolated location and difficult access. The trail has many steep switchbacks, then eases out into the basin below Columbine Lake.
Water is scarce, but available.
There are a few camping spots. Tents should be moved every 2 days due to the fragile tundra. A trout dinner is a possibility. Surrounding peaks should be climbed by experienced mountaineers only. The turn-off road is approximately one mile long and terminates at Andrews Lake where there is fishing and plenty of parking.
