    We'll meet at one of those big, dinosoar parking lots just on the north side of the highway near I-70/Morrison Road.

    Time: Let's say 9am if that works.

    Guanalla Pass starts in Georgetown and intersects 285 at Grant, CO. Then, the TH for Twin Cone is just a few miles east on 285. It starts at the campground area at the top of Kenosha Pass.

    Guanalla Pass could be done in a prius. It's actually paved in many areas. It's more of a scenic drive than a trail really. I'm not sure I would suggest Twin Cone for a stock truck. Here's a write-up of the trail and some pics of some of the obstacles - Twin Cone

    Sure man. The trail is pretty wide in most places, too. You could always attempt it and go as far as your comfortable. Then park it and ride along the rest of the way if for some reason you don't make it to the top.

    Cool, I will read some more trail reviews and see what I think... either I will meet you guys at the Dino lot and ride with one of you guys from there or try going up as far as I can and park it. The rock in that first obstacle looks like a good reason for sliders...

    How easy it is to pull off on twin cone?

    Just be careful on bowling ball hill without armor underneath and you'd be fine.
