285 to Fairplay and then 9 South to Hartsel. There is a sign for 11 mile right in town. Hit that dirt road and it goes past Spinney toward 11 Mile and you'll see the bridge/parking lot for the DS.
When we were living in Golden, i checked the milage both ways, its shorter going thru the Spgs by like 6 miles, you can get to the Spgs faster but its pretty much the same distance either way.
I definitely prefer thru the springs. 4 lane interstate/highway until about 10 miles past woodland park, and the last 20 - 30 miles is 2 lane highway.
