There is no exit specifically for Blair on I-80. You must access the Blair Road from either A.) exit 329 (as seen in Figure 1 above: Blair is indicated as C and D in this Figure.) or B.) the Happy Jack exit (#323) at the Summit/Lincoln Head statue nearer Laramie. Then proceed to the underpass as indicated on Figure 1 above (approx. 2 miles from Exit # 329, 4 miles from #323) which leads immediately to Forest Road #705. Take Road #705 for about 2.5 miles and find the Lower Blair picnic and parking area ("C" as seen in Figures 1 and 2 and shown in Figure 3.) . This is a Use Fee area, so be prepared to fork up $5.00 per day or have a Season Pass. Trails exit here for Blairs 1, 2, and 3 as well as Little Blair and associated minor crags as indicated on Figure 2. Its rather silly to hike up into 5 Corners (with the possible exception of So Corner) or Upper Blair from here unless aerobic conditioning is on your agenda. The much better alternative for these crags is to park in the Upper Blair Areas.
