Getting there
Bean Canyon/Boggy Draw Access Point To main trailhead: Beginning in downtown Dolores, turn north off of Highway 145 onto 11th Street and follow the road (which becomes County Road 31) up to the top of the mesa. Turn right (east) on Road W and travel approximately one mile until you cross a cattle guard and the forest boundary. The parking lot and trailhead sits on the left side of road once you enter the Forest boundary.
