My daughter and I went out this weekend to try and run Metberry Gulch. We had navigational issues, mostly because it didn't dawn on me that I'd be out of cell range and the nav on my phone wouldn't work. We had a trail book we picked up that covers the Gulches and entered the GPS coordinates into my normal GPS I use for work. The route it took us to Metberry ended up down some dirt roads and through one open gate to a small fishing lake. The gate that sat on the side of the lake was closed so we were unable to get to the Gulch.
At least my lack of knowledge and GPS were unable to get to the gulch. Since I've never been there before I'm not sure we were even in the right place. I'd love to take her back out this coming weekend since I'm not on call for work and run it, how do you guys find the trailheads? Also, how do you find out if the trails are closed before you venture out?
