行車資訊:
從丹佛沿I-70州際公路西行,在Exit 228下交流道進入小鎮Georgetown,由Georgetown Visitor Center一路沿“Guanella Pass”南行;9.5哩抵Guanella Pass Campground,再行0.1哩遇右岔Naylor Lake Road,右轉Naylor Lake Road立即抵達Silver Dollar and Murray Lake第一登山口,小車停此,但車位很少(六七部左右),在右轉Naylor Lake Road之前道路左側另有一較大停車場。四傳車輛可沿Naylor Lake Road土石路續行0.7哩抵達第二停車場。
步程簡述:
印象中Naylor Lake Road路況不佳,所以我們將車停在第一登山口,開始步行上山,事後發現路況改善很多,四傳車輛開到第二登山口輕而易舉,可省下0.7哩且有點陡的路程。
11:50 第一登山口出發,海拔約10,880呎(3,316公尺),沿著Naylor Lake Road西行,一開始路好陡,下個馬威,沿路林間幾處營地有人在露營。

12:12 抵達第二登山口,海拔約11,200呎(3,414公尺),距第一登山口約0.7哩,路旁空地蠻大的,可停不少車子;道路續行通往Naylor Lake,那是一座私人湖泊勿進,Silver Dollar and Murray Lake第二登山口左岔小徑上山。

小徑先在松林間穿行一陣子後便穿越森林線,一路在Square Top Mountain北坡下爬升,偶而是岩石坡,偶而是高可及腰的willow樹叢,沿途俯瞰右側山坡下的私人湖泊Naylor Lake;此段山徑坡度不大,走來蠻舒服的。
