Link-McIntyre Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up
This trailhead provides access to the Rawah Wilderness Area via the Link and McIntyre Trails. The trailhead accommodates approximately 20 vehicles and 5 designated trailer spaces. Access is off of Larimer County Road 130, which in turn accesses off of Laramie River Road (County Road 103). The trailhead is just west of Browns Park Campground
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
