Saturday 27 Feb 2021 - Lost Park Road
I'm going stir crazy!
Lost Park road is a very easy trail without snow.
The latest post on this trail from earlier this month said:
"made it almost all the way to the campground today, gets pretty snowy about halfway some spots are deep. limited turn around space the further back you go due to deep icey snow. I turned back because I was loosing traction, i was in a lifted Ford Raptor on 37" tires
it's a fun drive right now tho, nobody out there hiking, still pretty wash board for most of it, packed snowy and icey spots make it smoother lol"

Anyone up for some snow wheeling this weekend?

I'll keep an eye on this. I will be at my place not far from there this weekend, would just need to bring the Jeep instead of the truck. There is a nice network of trails right off of that road as well that may be a bit more fun than just taking the main road to the dead end.

Sounds good.
This is a new area for me.
It did look like we might find something interesting on those spurs Rock Creek or Topaz perhaps.
Re: Saturday 27 Feb 2021 - Lost Park Road
Quite possibly, but I will probably start having clearance issues well before a lifted Raptor on 37s did lol. Not worried about traction so much

Aaron I'm getting antsy also, but have plans we my daughter this weekend. Cresta Butte for the weekend. She wants to try cross country skiing. I know I'm going to regret doing this. Last time (only time) I went I was about 25 years old and was sore for three days. What I wouldn't do for my little girl.
Hope you guys do get to go and enjoy some trails.

It's a long drive, but maaaaaybe.
Re: Saturday 27 Feb 2021 - Lost Park Road
I hear ya, I'm just itching to get out of this house.
A two hour drive to the trailhead, I'm really OK with that. :)
Re: Saturday 27 Feb 2021 - Lost Park Road
Going to post it on the calendar? What time?
Re: Saturday 27 Feb 2021 - Lost Park Road
Oh sure I'll make an entry.
Somewhere around 1030 trailhead was my idea.
Re: Saturday 27 Feb 2021 - Lost Park Road
We got a lot of snow last night. Probably a good ~10 inches, with drifts up to / over 16. The trail is pretty far away, so I wonder if it got any.
