For the same reason you're always on Eagle Rock:

We're almost always up at Bunce because we all love it! It is such a great trail, and is pretty much the only good one within 10-15 mins. of my house.

I'll be up there most every weekend this summer. Come up and see me sometime. I'll be pretty easy to spot.

Been 4 wheeling up there for over 12 years now, myself. I really do love it up there (or down there for me as it is about 600-1000 feet below my house, depending on where you are.

How difficult is that trail? A group of friends and I were planning on camping off of Rollins Pass for Memorial Weekend. Well, that is probably out the door. There is still a ton of snow up there. So, we were thinking of switching it to Bunce Road.

First off, I will be driving my wife's 04 Mercury Mountaineer with IFS and IRS (Independent rear suspension ), really low running boards and pulling a small pop-up tent trailer. Can this trail be done with that combo? Is there good camping up in that area? Was there a ton of snow on your May 5th run?

Sorry for the 20 questions but I'm trying to figure out if it's worth driving from Pueblo up to Bunce for a weekend of camping just to find out I can't make it.

Thanks!

It's pretty easy - basically a dirt road for most of it, there are some side trails that would not be good in a rig like that.

There's tons of camping (all primitive - no facilities at all). There was no snow at all last time we were up there.

PM vwfast - he is up there all the time.

Thanks, that's what I kinda got from your trip report pictures but wanted to make sure. I'll plan on staying on the main trail.

Primitive camping is what we are looking for so no worries there

I'll shoot him a PM, thanks for the heads up!

Molly we ran it lastnight no nails anywhere but there is a big wash out on the main trail after the area you popped a tire. We saw a guy in a subaru who flagged us down and warned us about it. Going through it i was at 30 and tipping when i stopped and went around it. It looks like its a few days old. Id say about a week and it gets smoothed out cause people are driving off the edge of it and its soft sand.
