Here's an even better idea... Base camp at Taylor Reservoir or the woods just north of there. Easy access to all of areas 2 and 3 in the Charles A. Wells guide book.

Taylor pass
Italian creek
Schofield/ Crystal river
Lead King Basin
Pearl Pass
Slate + Gothic roads
Tincup pass
Tomichi pass
Antero
Iron Chest

...and so on.

Drawbacks would be no motels or fuel in the immediate area. Buena Vista would be the closest.
