How do I get to Duncan?
Duncan Cabin can be reached from Moffat, Colorado, on State Highway 17, either 37 miles from Alamosa or 14 miles from the intersection of US Hwy 285 between Saguache and Salida. From Moffat turn towards Crestone (County Road T), for 12 miles. Before getting to Crestone, turn right at Camino Baca Grande Road for 2 miles. Turn right at Camino Real Road (no street signs, but look for small brown sign saying "Liberty Road" on the right side. Follow Camino Real for 3.4 miles, look for another small brown sign reading "Liberty," turn left at Camino Del Ray. Follow that road up to the top of the hill, roughly 2.5 miles, until the road comes to a left or right turn. Look for the brown "Liberty" sign on the right side of the road, and turn right at Camino Baca Grande. Note that pavement ends on Camino Baca Grande Way, continue on that road until you get to a narrow gateway with Forest System Road 952. Road becomes very rough and bumpy for the remaining 5 miles to Liberty Gate. From there is hiking/cycling/horseback only, for the 4 miles to the cabin. Note, stream crossing 2 miles from Liberty Gate. Be sure to stay on FSR 952, there's a turnoff road going to Deadman Creek, approximately 0.3 miles from Liberty Gate. Keep right of the turnoff.
