Coloardao Trail Day Thread

I might be free on Sunday

 

9600+ is still very tuff going.

 

which trail was that on?

 

week before we went to Moab a few of us went up the mtn behind George town lake. at about that elevation we hit snow. we bashed thru it but at 10800 it was unpassable. 5 feet of drifts... im thinkin late june before high country will be able to be played with

 

After looking at the book. I got a half mile up "North Fork of the Swan River" and about 400 yards up "Georgia Pass".

 

anyone been by coney flats and middle st. vrain yet? wonder if it's open yet...

 

Its gets really, really, muddy, once the snow starts melting. They also do maintenance on the trail before they open it to the public. The work is done by one of the local 4x4 clubs.

With the amount of snow that is still up there, I would say end of June, first weeks of July, before you will see it open.


Also check out www.Colorado4x4.org. Lots of good info and trial runs being setup.

 

nice site...thanks for the link

 

someone on colorado4x4 said that twin cones maybe good to go

drove over kenosha last weekend and there was still some snow up top but looked like it was melting pretty good and if the trail is south facing at all, there's a good chance the snow will be minimal...

 

I have done Twin Cone, the last week of May, every year, for the last two years. One time it was even snowing . There was never any snow, on the trail, when I was up there, but this year is different.


What day were you going to run it?

 

Coney Flats is a fun trail but not sure if it is open yet I am sure the big water crossing is high this time of year

 

sounds like coney and st vrain are still being worked on getting ready to open so it'll have to wait a couple more weeks...

really i can run twin cones saturday or sunday i would just have to move my mountain biking day around...

 

Piss on my days off this week...

 

We could do it on Sunday. Meet at the parking lot, at the base of the trail, at 10:00am?

 

sounds like a plan


EDIT: parking lot at the top of the pass?

 

yea that's a work fail right there...who gives someone off friday and monday?

 

.

 

Yep. You have to make a left, across the freeway, at the top of the pass. It is easy to get there, but if you want to meet closer to Denver, we can.

 

I might be in for this one
post a map on where you want to meet
