Will have some out of town guests visiting on July 28, and want to show them a great (scenic) trail. I was considering Argentine Pass or Kingston Peak.

It's been a while since I've been to Kingston so that'd be my vote.
Excellent. I think either would be great, and I ran both last year. If I can get a few interested folks to post in here, I'll add it to the calendar. I suspect Kingston will be a great choice since there's an Argentine run next week (that I can't make).
Did Kingston get opened?

Not that I know of. I'm planning on it being open in a month. Am I being too optimistic?
Edit: USFS link confirms closed
Let's go with Kingston but Argentine (or other) can be an option should it still be closed by then.
Trent, if it’s open I’d like to go.
Awesome Chris. This trail should be easily doable for you.
I want to get up Kingston again this year. Typically run Yankee hill on the way back out.

Posted on the calendar. Looks like there's a lot of interest, so hopefully the trail will be open and ready in a month.
One of my favorite trails, if I don't go the North Sand Hills that weekend I'll tag along on this.
Spoke with a nice lady at the Idaho Springs Ranger Station / Visitor Center this morning, Kingston is set to open on July 15 or earlier if possible.
This was us last year, September IIRC:

On the calendar, I have listed to meet up at 10:00 am. I think we should move it back to 8:30 or 9:00, based on the forecast for afternoon thunderstorms starting at 12:00. The monsoon as finally arrived, it appears.
Is anyone still interested if we try to get an earlier start?
meet at Lake park @ Central City Cemetery

I am interested in early start what is duration time roughly?
I'd vote 9.
I'll be early. I'm a maybe because I have a 6:00 work appointment that morning which should be fast and then we're heading out right after. If we're really early we'll just catch up along the trail; likely we'll just meet as planned but I don't want to commit to the meetup time just incase something changes. I just put the top and doors on last night in anticipation of this, a little rain should just make for more dramatic scenery. As long as there's no lightning it should be fine.
