Colorado B.S. Thread

checking out traildamage now...i been looking around nederland/central city area...idk what trails have gates that close seasonally though...i know like coney flats and st vrain are probably still closed...

if you were coming down, we could check out something in idaho springs area...haven't been around there before...don't know how bad the snow will be along I70...

 

The only trail I have ever been on in CO is Peru Creek from Montezuma area. Idaho Springs area should be OK Snow wise I think.

 

kingston peak (probably lot of snow though), mammoth gulch or moon gulch or pickle gulch (maybe too tame?), slaughterhouse gulch or hidden valley road (seems like a little challenge, never been though)?

Edit: all central city, rollinsville, nederland areas

 

empire has some good stuff but they get more snow than idaho springs, like bill moore near tree line will start to have quite the snow pack

Bill moore lake
red elephant hill
spring creek (hard)

 

idaho springs area:

babour fork
cascade creek (<3 miles long though)
devil's canyon

 

hmmm Let me do some research on the above trails.

 

I would prefer to stay out of the snow on these steep slopes I think.

 

Barbour fork is closed until June 14.

Same with Devil's Canyon.

We may have this issue for everything up towards this area?

 

maybe...storm coming in saturday too so that's another thing to watch out for...

 

a more scenic route would be oh-my-god road to russel gulch....idaho springs to central city...

 

i'm going to love the snow on sunday boarding, but man is it f'in up my saturday plans to run shit over

 

my buddy in his heep rubicon is down too...now just need to find a place

 

That looks like a really easy going ride through town. I could be down for that just to get out maybe.

 

Im down to run over some small rcoks in my stocker.

 

that oh-my-god to russel gulch might work for you too geo...russell has some spurs on it that may have more shit to run over but overall looks like you can take it down

 

oh-my-god road to russel gulch

Meeting Places
To do Oh-My-God Road first, meet at the McDonald's or Starbucks in Idaho Springs. Russell Gulch is about 6 miles from Idaho Springs if you take the easy route.

 

hoping there's a bunch of mud up there

 

what time are ya thinking tomorrow?

 

Bob, as far as skids go. Once you have an IFS skid and T-case skid you're pretty much set. The transmission pan is tucked up pretty high, other than that there isn't very much to take out on the under body. Maybe consider diff armor because its very cheap prevention compared to denting in the axle housing...

and sliders are a given.
