Upcoming Colorado Events

So you think I would need skid plates to do Coney Flats since it's a 6? I have a TRDOR with 285/70R17's and the BP-51 suspension but no skids other than factory, which we know are worth it. Was thinking about doing this tomorrow.

 

As you probably know, "difficulty" is very subjective.That being said I have seen a bone stock Nissan frontier do Coney flats. I'd like to think if you have another vehicle going, a fair bit of people would say give it a shot!

Hope that helps

 

Cool thanks and I have someone going with me and may see the others up there that have posted.

 

You might be ok with out skids, but I’d considers sliders a must.
That rock is on the msv side and was no easy way for me to get around it without hitting

 

I'd recommend sliders as well, though I have seen stock vehicles run both trails.

I took my stock 2015 SR5 DCSB up MSV when I first got it. Now that was dumb. Lesson learned

 

I'm moving into into the Bailey area the next couple weekends , Can't wait to learn some of the local trails ! I used to commute my cj7 (5.0HO) over a class 5 trail to work when I lived in lake arrowhead … my first 4x4 in about 20 years , Had to get the kids grown up !!!

 

So is MSV - Middle St. Vrain trail? If so, I almost went up there today and have been told it’s easy to moderate. Is that the case or not? I have a bad habit of ending up in places I shouldn’t have...

 

Since it's fast approaching--as an adult, time flies when you're having fun or not...and it's more often "not"--I will once again throw this out for Labor Day.


Labor Day Weekend (9/1-9/3)

Day 1: Pearl Pass
Day 2: Taylor Pass
Day 3: Reno Divide/Italian Creek

We would find disbursed camping along the way (I suppose there is a strong possibility that fire restrictions will still be in place). The above order is not necessary either, just the way that I envisioned it. This is all assuming that the entire forest isn't on fire. Thoughts?

My CB will be fixed by then and I'm hoping to have my HAM license also. I've never done any of these trails before so it would be nice if someone who has is there. See below; the first two trails are rated as moderate by Trails Offroad and difficult by the FunTreks books while the last is rated moderate by FunTreks:

I feel it best to leave rather early as possible on Saturday given it's a holiday weekend (7 or 8, I'm thinking). Two or three weeks ago, I went west on I-70 to explore a few trails and it took me 3.5 hours to get to Frisco.

 

Heading out a few weeks before. At the time of planning I had no idea what Rock Therapy was. Fun ether way.

 

Had been looking forward to it since I went last year, but just started a new job so I can’t get the time off. Gonna just head out there Thursday after work, stay the weekend, and drive back Sunday afternoon.

 

Im headed out there have the whole week off still figuring out when i am going to leave. I have a pup with me so i now realize i cant go like i was planning on before. so have to figure somthing else out.

 

@Sub-Zero RT

 

Cant take dogs into the national park. Who i was going to go out with is running part of the maze and its no dogs allowed even in your vehicle for only some of the routes i was planning. Just have do do somthing else still going with the pup!

 

This wound be my plan... but wife has class Friday morning so I won’t be able to leave till Friday afternoon

 

Sounds like Chelsea should be ditching her Friday morning class to me. That’s what college is for right?

 

What event? Im going to be there 9/15-22.

When...

I haven't been in Utah much yet this year.

 

Yeah, saw the thread after i posted.

Wondering when people are going before/after. Looks like a cool event, and i haven't checked the thread in months but it was sounding like a lot of people and lack of camping. And I'm not looking to do any hard wheeling. I'll be out of town the next weekend, so if people were down the week before.
