Yankee Hill and/or Pickle Gulch

[Tom]

Any interest in Thurs, Fri, or Sat this week. 17th, 18th, 19th

[Jake]

I just finished bumpers, winch and lift. I'm interested. Never done these, so are there any issues with longer wheelbase vehicles?

I'm probably interested in a Saturday run. Can't take off Thurs/Fri for a weekday run this week.

[Jake]

Saturday for me, too.

I've run pickle gulch with Chris driving his built up Tacoma a few times. He didn't have any trouble on pickle gulch, but an F150 is bigger than a Tacoma.

I ran Yankee Hill before, I think I banged my rear crossmember but that was it and no real damage


almost all the trails here in CO are Jeep wide

Sounds like Saturday is the preferred day. That’s not surprising. I have no issues Jake just doing Yankee if you are concerned about pickle gulch. IMO worst you would see on pickle is some pin striping.

Tom...would you be interested to run up pickle, then over to miners gulch and to the top of Yankee that way? Could go all the way down to st Mary's or return to CC via the standard east side of Yankee?

Yup...that's it...I've run it both ways...it's the one spot on Yankee that has a bit of challenge and fun. This time of year it'll be wetter and that makes it a bit tougher over the chunky boulder section.

Chris and I did it in reverse a couple years ago ...

No...I am around this weekend, and am much more interested to do the run if it includes a bit more interesting route up Yankee than the normal.

Don't go the standard way from the RZR unloading zone. It was an absolute zoo yesterday, had to pull over 15 times for side by sides and dirt bikes flying by. Almost took one of my mirrors off.
