    The dogs have created some nice whoop-de-doos and moguls in my back yard. But it'd be a a really short trail.

    Rock Creek was pretty sweet. Other than that, the only option is probably Left Hand.

    Josh mentioned, though, that he hit Miller Rock. If there's not snow there, that would be a fun trail. You just have to all the ranch so they know we're coming and will open the gate to get out. You can come back out the way you came, but if anyone's coming the other way, someone's backing up for a while. I haven't been on that trail since 2008 and would like to get on it again.

    Rock creek was probably more fun for you guys since you were breaking trail. For us, it took 20 minutes since we didn't have to. Fun, but not worth a trip all by itself. I'm sure we will get more snow between now and then, so it should be fun again.

    We were worried about the gate on Miller too, since there is no cell service up there. Luckily, another user from that area had cut the lock off already. Its really crappy of them to do that if you ask me. It is one thing to do it in a place where cell service is there, but to post a number without it is just silly. What, are you suppose to schedule a time with them before hand and hope you make it?

    Anybody know what the easement is there? Seems to me that it shouldn't be allowed to be locked if there is a FS easement. I can see how it might be touchy while kids are there having unknown vehicles drive through, but when camp isn't in session there shouldn't be a lock IMHO. Its not like it isn't easy to get in the other side and mess with stuff, so there is no real reason to do it other then they want to control access. I meant to call the Boulder Ranger district about it, but spaced it. If I remember, I'll find out what the official response is on it.

    Miller Rock has been pretty much a one way trail for years. Yes, supposedly you can request that someone open the gate, but it usually does't happen and everyone usually runs the trail like it is, with a return down the same trail....and you really don't want to meet anyone on it.

    If my heap is running, we may make it for a New Year's day run, whatever trail is chosen. We don't party for New Years, so we aren't going to be dealing with no sleep and hangovers....

    I may be up for it, as long as it's a trail my heep can handle.

    As far as the gate at Miller Rock, we were just there a few weeks ago and had no issue. Fredrok called the day before and gave them a heads up, we hit the gate, called them (Verizon and ATT had service) they unlocked the gate and we rolled right through.

    I'd be up for a trail run on New Year's day. I'm not familiar with that many trails up north so I've got no preference on trail selection.

    Make it Miller Rock. If there's a problem or the trail ends up being closed, we can head up the road to Rock Creek.

    hmmm....I have ATT and had zilch for service at the gate, and I think Cameron had Verizon and nothing from him too (not sure though). Running that trail was a spur of the moment kind of thing, so no ability to call ahead really. I just don't get why they would have it locked at all this time of year. No kids to steal, easy unrestricted access to the property from the main camp entrance so if someone really wanted to get on the property it wouldn't be hard. It was clear that someone else either couldn't get a hold of the office or was too impatient to do so and cut the bolt, as that is how we found it, not just left open.

    Maybe I'm looking into it too much, but it just seems silly to me. Fun trail though, and its doable for just about anyone on here. Cameron's rig is currently only mildly built with a small lift and some larger tires, but he had no problems at all. The only thing I would say is that if that area gets a bunch of snow, there are a few places where its off camber and the road is narrow, and not much to stop you from rolling down a steep embankment. It will be obvious if that is the case at the beginning though, and the main place I am thinking of had enough room for a rig or two to turn around. just before it. If its like that at Miller, then Rock Creek and Bunce will be more "fun" then they are currently, and I'm sure it would still be worth the drive up there.

    :whatAreYouThinking:Cut the lock? WEAK WEAK WEAK. Doesn't matter the reason it's locked, it's still weak. I'm not going to get on any soap box or whatever....yes, I am....think about all the forces that are currently shutting down or would like to shut down our trails. And our current administration fuels that fire immensely. This crap just gives them more ammo to do it.

    FYI for future Miller Rock wheelers:

    I called the day before I ran that trail and arranged a time span with the manager, Clayton, and he couldn't have been any nicer or more accommodating. http://www.glacierviewranch.com/contact.html Coming down from Miller Rock I just check my phone until I got signal, stopped and called to confirm we were good. Collectively, 5 minutes of my time and an ounce of effort and all's cool.

    Trust me when I tell you my iphone and att is the biggest piece of ***** combo I've had the displeasure of waiting for my contract to expire for and I still pulled it off.
