Detailed Driving Directions There are only two ways to get to the Ranch by road. You can drive from the north via Lake City or south via Creede.
From Creede
As you come into Creede from South Fork on Colorado 149, you will need to turn left at the gas station so that you stay on 149. A second left turn just after you cross the bridge over Willow Creek will keep you on 149 and at that point you will be going south out of town. In about 2 miles the highway will turn and take you in a more westerly direction. Stay on Highway 149. Traveling the next 25 miles you will pass a number of ranches and scenic overlooks. After mile marker 48, a road goes right to North Clear Creek Falls. Don't turn there. Continue a short distance on 149. Just past where 149 crosses North Clear Creek, between mile marker 48 and 49, Forest Road 513 turns off to the left (north). There are some signs pointing to the Continental Reservoir and Rito Hondo Reservoir. There is a small sign on the right side of Forest Road 513 that says "Continental Ranch Cabin Rentals 2 miles". You are on the right road when you see that sign, just keep going until you get there.
From Lake City
Take Colorado Highway 149 out of Lake City to the south. In just a few miles you will begin a steep climb that will eventually take you to the top of Slumgullion Pass. The highway generally heads south, but mountain roads are not straight lines, so you will be going west and east on short sections. Don't worry, just have fun. Great views! As you come down the southeast side of the pass, you will pass a road that turns off to the north (left) to Oleo Ranch. Don't turn here. Keep going; you will top Spring Creek Pass and Campgroud and begin a long descent on a part of the Highway that goes almost straight south. After several miles the Highway turns to the west. Just after that turn to the west, the turnoff to Forest Road 513 will be on your right (north). Turn to the right. You can't go wrong now. You will see the sign "Continental Ranch Cabin Rentals 2 miles". Just keep going. You'll be there in just a few more minutes.
