Two things: On the directions from Lake City, the turn at mile 35.3 it should be road 794, not 394. Second, we followed the directions from US 50 (Gunnison side) on the main page, and these were much simpler than those on the east slopes Route page. However, it was wet and people should be warned that in wet/muddy conditions the road conditions degrade significantly - there was a two-mile portion where we had to use 4WD-low to get through the mud. The roads to Lake City (reversing the directions) handled the wet conditions better.
