    Default Hello from Thornton



    Hey all,
    I'm Erik and I picked up an '05 stock Jeep Wrangler late last year. The GF and I have been wanting to get into wheeling for a while, and finally bit the bullet. I've put a mild lift on the TJ and will be looking to meet up with people for some mild/moderate trails this year. Hope to see you guys out there!!

    Thanks for all the welcome posts! I'm certainly excited to get out and hit a lot of the local trails with you guys. Just gotta wait for the snow to melt on some/most of them, though, correct?

    Welcome to wheelin'

    with today's snow, yes on the snow melt . but really there are lots of trails that are open and mostly clear of snow (especially in the front range). A few groups of us ran Yankee Hill over the last few weeks and that trail goes over 11,200 feet of elevation.

    If if you are up for driving up towards Allenspark there are a number of easy to moderate trails that are free of snow and fun to get some experience!

    Bunce School Hill is a good easy trail that is pretty long, and has a moderate off shoot trail called Ironclads that's a blast also. It's about 20 minutes up Hwy 7 from Lyons (so probably 60-80 minute drive from Thornton). There's a number of other trails in the area also. I'd be happy to run some of these anytime (I live up hear and have run most of these multiple times already this spring)

    Good to hear. I'll probably hit you up when I'm heading that way in the near future.

    Sounds good, just send me a PM if you are thinking about heading up this way! Right now all the trails are difficult until the snow melts some...it took me an hour or two to get my rig up my driveway yesterday (had to shovel tracks so my tires could have some traction). We got over 42 inches of snow in the recent storm, most in the state I believe.
