4WD is not really required for the remainder of the drive to the end of the road. About 100 yards after crossing the creek, passenger cars may want to park because the road greatly deteriorates beyond there. At Winfield, turn south and cross the creek and continue south, then SW on CR390.2B. Because of heavy use, this road is often washboarded badly. As the road approaches Winfield, it will become a little more narrow and likely to have some potholes. Drive west on graded dirt road 11.7 miles to Winfield. The turn is less than 2 miles south of "Granite." From Buena Vista, drive north just under 15 miles to the same turnoff. From Leadville, drive south a little over 19 miles on HWY 24 to the turnoff for Clear Creek Reservoir (CR390) and head west.
