Wide old access road that is gated off for pedestrians. This is a great walk up to a higher point at Empire Pass. At the top it wraps around a covered reservoir to one of the best views of Bonanza Flat as it sweeps down to Midway below. Short and easy.

Only the first little section is typically used by mountain bikers to access 9K and Upper Corvair, then it is pretty much just people walking to the viewpoint
