Starsmore Discovery Center Trailhead

The Starsmore Discovery Center functions as the parking lot for the Lower Combine Trailhead. Approach the building's front and follow the concrete walk around the left side. Pass to the left of the trail sign and go through the gate in the fence. Turn LEFT to begin the trail (there's no marker here). Once onto the trail, Mt Cutler's peak presents itself for view.

Middle Columbine Trailhead

About 400 yards after the road crossing, you'll enter the south side of the Middle Columbine Trailhead parking area. The trail signs are clear. Cross the lot and head up the trail. From here, the trail begins its ascent of the north side of the canyon wall. The trail uses switchbacks across the rock face so you don't have to go straight up. You'll see Mt Cutler across the road and the Mt Cutler trailhead below. Turning back to the east you'll see the west side of the 6800 ft ridge around which you just walked.
