Parked at the Lily Pad Trailhead up the Ryan Gulch Road above Dillon, it was still ambiguous which way to go up Buffalo Mountain, left or right, without good signage, nor any help from Google Maps (appears better in March 2022). I went the wrong way, far uphill, finally decided I had to fix that, and took off cross-country west with about a 600' gain to rejoin the right trail. At first it was really easy, like this, but eventually boggy and bushwhacky.
