Ross' Grade, links the L1050 road to the Thrillium parking lot. This double track climbs at a moderate grade and crosses Thrillium. Shortly past Thrillium, it turns into a newish gravel road. Proceed down this road until you find a faint trail climbing a road cut on your left. This trail takes you onto Aaron's climbing trail. Alternatively, you can continue down the gravel road until you reach a yellow gate. From the gate you will turn left and climb the shuttle road to the Thrillium parking lot.
