Lek watching Question

[Dave Cameron]

The current issue of Birdwatching (Birder's World) magazine features an article on various western lekking birds, and lists locations by state where they can be watched. 

 

The Sharp-tailed Grouse has a single Colorado location listed:  Twenty Mile Road, Routt county.  Google Maps has not heard of it, nor does scanning the map of that county show any such road.

 

Is anyone here aware of the spot in question, or whether that road goes by a different name?

 

Thanks in advance,

I don't know specifically where the lek is, but this might get you started.

Thanks to all who responded.  I now know that I'm after county road 27, 5 mi

east of Hayden, 5.5 mi south to power lines, plus another mile.  We're going

to give it a shot towards the end of april.
