I'm looking at doing a difficult trail tommorrow, friday, somewhere within 2 hours of Denver. Does anyone know of a trail that wont be covered in snow yet? I'm thinking of spring creek or chinamans gulch. Thanks!

 

Have you done Chinamen's before?

If you can wait til Saturday, we are trying to get something together.

 

No, I havent done it yet. It looks like fun!

Yea, I saw the post about your shindig on Saturday and wish I could make it, but I can't. Thanks though.

 

man, i hate you guys, already getting / talking about snow, here in the midwest, we aint got nothing but cooler temps. and rain, I WANT THE SNOW.....

 

I don't live there any more but we use to go up tp Saint Marys glacier area and to spring creek. I know there is a trail from Kingston peak to Central city we use to go on alot. Hows the weather up there so far?

 

I wouldn't do Chinamen's alone and I would not do Spring Creek alone without a winch. Not sure if that is your intention, but I just thought I would throw it out there.

Not to mention, Chinamen's is more than 2 hours from Denver.

 

Super Dave - The weather has been great lately, 60/40s but its supposed to snow in the mountains this weekend.

Adrian- I was going to do it with a guy from my schools off-road club who drives a cherokee. He has daul lockers and a winch so I think we should be fine.
Also, Chinamans is going to be too far for a day trip. I definitily need to get out there someday.

 

You could do Carnage Canyon - in boulder/lefthand canyon area - description and pics here: http://traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=4

If you come to Carnage up here and run into problems, give me a call. I don't think I can hit the trail, but if you need a hand all I am doing tomorrow is hitting the job lists.

Supposedly that stays snowless a lot of the year, perhaps we can hit it later?

 

So I'm guessing this isnt carnage http://www.cosports.com/cgi-bin/report.cgi?179 ??

 

That is Buena Vista Carnage.

There is also Boulderish Carnage. I think Mike has done that one.

 

Yeah that one is the trail that is by Buena Vista that has a sign in the beginning that read " 35" tires minimum, dual lockers, high clearance, winch recomended, body damage likely."

I have seen people on that one- you won't like it too much.
