Upcoming Colorado Events

Keep this in mind, part of Bunce is closed

 

Slaughterhouse is literally the only trail that I know of, and I haven't run it yet. I'd be down for either though, as long as the weather holds enough. Cedar Mtn Road definitely looks doable. I'm down with either...wherever the group wants to go!!

 

Cedar Mtn Will be doable for sure. Went about a month ago to connect to long water gulch, which ran higher up and had some decent snow patches that made me turn back (I was running it solo) but cedar was good on the way there, only slightly difficult in some parts with run off from the rain. Boulder looks like it might have some better weather, never been around the area but this looks interesting as an alternative: http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=203

 

That one looks alright as well. Aside from it being my first run, I don't have any recovery gear either, so I definitely need to play it safer. But I think that one would be alright.

 

My old man and I were going to go scout the Illinois Gulch area on Sunday, isn't that pretty close to where you all are talking about?

 

Yup, you actually take cedar to get to illinois, as well as metberry and hacket gulch. Cedar mtn road is a straight through while illinois gulch and the rest are out and back from it.

 

Very cool! Then we may see you lot out there!

 

I don't think that slaughterhouse is a good "first timers" Trail, especially during this time of year

 

Fair enough. I just know where it is because my father-in-law lives out there.

 

My Wife drove my truck for the first time on Slaughterhouse, but there wasn't any snow or ice up there.

 

What's wrong this time of year? I've done slaughterhouse in two stock vehicles on road tires in the past.

 

I would be surprised to still find snow below 9000 feet. Maybe in the shade, but not for long.

 

Plenty of it around here.

 

if that downhill section of slaughterhouse doesn't have snow id say its the perfect first timers trail!!

 

I was almost free of snow a month ago

 

My first trail in 2011

 

I did Eldorado Mountain / Caribou Creek for my first ever trail, almost went on Coney Flats and Middle Saint Vrain that day too. Decided to leave my truck and hop in a jeep for those two.

Eldorado Mtn summitVVV


Eldorado switchbacks heading up is a little narrow for a first timer

Id like to make that loop again this year actually.

Eldroado Mtn to Caribou Creek to Coney Flats to Middle Saint Vrain loop. who's down?

 

I said BELOW 9000 feet.

 

So for all y'all trying to hit Cedar Mtn Road on Sunday. Say we meet at the 'Decker's Corner' parking lot around 10:30am? 7224-7248 S Co Highway 67, Sedalia, CO 80135

 

anyone know if Yankee Hill is open all the way through ?
if so anyone looking to go Monday morning with me and a Jeep friend of mine ?
