Colorado backpacking trip

[crumy]

I googled and if this is the one it seems pretty straight forward About 205 miles / 3 hours

Can you check my directions?

25 south to 70 west to 470 east to 285 south to left at Colordo Trail (looks like first left after Lininger Lake Road)

sounds great, thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Sorry Aron. I posted before reading your about putting up directions.

Your directions look good for the 1 o'clock meeting place!

Sure would like go on this one and start meeting some of you folks. I'm in the office all weekend. Would have liked to try out my new mega tarp and stove. Perhaps the next one. Keep them going!

Best regards,

Tom

Update.

Everyone bring your own shelter. No tipi.

 

[CrzyTrekker]

Are we base camping two nights in one spot? Mileage? Might influence shelter choice. Thanks!

 

[armyjoe]

There will be no car camping Haha. We will hike in on the trail and camp there and on Saturday may hike to a different spot to camp that night. So no big base camp.

Mileage is minimal. Probably 2.5 the first night and equal the second night if we end up moving.

So pack a shelter that is conducive to hiking in.

similar question. We going to set up a base camp in the same spot as the winter trip and then day hike out of that. or be mobile. If we set up a base camp I will bring my 14 x 17 canvas tent else the small two man. (no horses on this trip to carry everything )

 

[coOverwatch]

okay, leaving the big tent at home.

 

[CrzyTrekker]

Right on thanks

 

[Aron Snyder]

Is everyone is feeling froggy on Saturday morning, we can go as far as you guys want.

Like Joe said, tomorrow will be easy and a good day to get organized.

Do cell phones work where we're headed? Haven't got a sat phone yet.

 

[Aron Snyder]

Not at the trail head.

 

[crumy]

Ok.. this will seem like a stupid question but I am OCD when it comes to details. Are we meeting right off road (285) or are we going up the road to the right until it ends. I see on maps.google.com that it goes up a ways.

There is a parking lot right next to the road that leads back to the Colorado Trailhead. That is where we will be on 285 in that parking lot. NOT down the road

 

[armyjoe]

Alright folks, its go time!

Any last questions, comments or concerns before we meet up?

Kenosha Pass parking lot on 285 at 1PM.
