The road that leads up through the industrial center and to the hotel is between mm 194 and 195, on the east side of the trail. There's a small community service bulletin board where the gravel road heads off. If coming from the west, it will be just after the cattle feed lots. If coming from the Boonville trailhead, it will be shortly past when you go through the metal tunnel (don't know the proper name to call it).
