I’ll be there about 10 till 5

 

Bumping this again in the hopes of drumming up some company.

Here are my tentative plans for the week of Rock Therapy. Let me know if you are interested in joining for all or part of the pre-Rock Therapy festivities. I will continue to update this post as my plans solidify.

Oct 14th: Leave Denver and head to Montrose. Begin Rimrocker trail and find a dispersed camping campsite after entering the Uncompahgre National Forest (~12 miles from start of trail)

Oct 15th: Continue along the Rimrocker trail and make camp that night in the Manti La Sal National Forest near the Colorado/Utah boarder

Oct 16th: Finish the Rimrocker and roll into Moab. Stake out a campsite in Moab for the rest of the week/Rock Therapy.

Oct 17th: Start the White Rim trail (**Permit in hand for campsite "Potato Bottom - B"**) This camp site is 66 miles from the beginning of the trail so I will be getting an early start on the trail. I would like to start the trail at or before sunrise (approximately 7:30 am) to allow for maximum travel and site seeing time. Planned stops along the way include the Gooseneck Overlook (0.6 mile "hike"), Musselman Arch, and Washer Woman Arch.

Oct 18th: Finish White Rim trail and head back to Moab to join the Rock Therapy festivities. The remainder of the White Rim trail is shorter which allows more time for side hikes. Planned side hikes include Fort Bottom Ruin (3 miles) and Moses and Zeus (1 mile)

Oct 19-21: Take in as much as Moab has to offer (Possible trails to be run: Top of the World, Golden Spike, Fins N Things, open to suggestions from those with Moab experience)

Oct 22nd: Say goodbye to Moab and book it back to Denver via I-70

**The White Rim campsite permit allows for 3 vehicles and up to 15 people, but I will need to call and modify the permit so if you're in, you're in. No backing out. Each vehicle requires a $30 fee for the camping permit and a $25 fee to enter the park (park entry fee is valid for 7 days and can be paid ahead of time online here https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/74186020). This is highly recommended so there is no need to stop at the visitor center prior to entering the park. If you are interested in sharing the campsite with me you can paypal me the $30 camping fee and I will get the permit amended to include your vehicle. You will be responsible for paying your own park entry fee.

A good map of White Rim can be found here: https://www.nps.gov/cany/planyourvisit/upload/island.pdf

Good Rimrocker info here (maps, gpx files, etc): http://rimrockertrail.org/

Here is a pretty nice guide showing info for many of the tourist activities surrounding Moab: http://www.discovermoab.com/pdf/gclodging.pdf

 

I'm trying to get the days off. I'll know within a few days and give you a heads up.

 

Anyone been up near Breckenridge in the last week or so? Wondering if they've started getting snow. Been thinking about going up Georgia Pass from the Breck side in the next week or two.

 

depending if anyone chimes in I would be interested in joining you depending on the day if you want anyone to tag along.

 

Always better with a group

keep an eye on the webcams...in the trees, the snow will stick around longer obvioiusly, so you may have some patchy slickness...it'll be a bit until there is too much snow

 

Awesome! Thanks!

 

Anyone wheelin this weekend?

 

Maybe yankee hill on Sunday

 

Mind if I tag along?

 

@CharlieCafe have you figured out your route?

If not I might just hit up Argentine network on Saturday @Coop68

 

was waiting to see what Charles wanted to do if he was able. might run jenny creek trail with another group, well see argentine could be fun too.

 

Not at all, I'll shoot you some more info later. Probably meet at the gas station around 9

 

Don't you need an OHV stamp to run that one?

 

yes

 

I'm still working on my plans with the wife If I go it will most likely be Georgia Pass since she will be with me. You guys go ahead and make plans, I don't want you waiting for my wife to make up my mind

 

Why does all this go down when I have fricking plans

 

Right!! Ugh.
