    Default Yankee Hill to Central City and back



    My kiddos and I have been wheelin and atv-ing this entire area for weeks now, it is mostly open. A few of the spurs are still drifted over, still cannot get over to Apex from the octopus. We live at St. Mary's so we start from the sub-division access to Yankee, via Mine Rd. We took the 175.1 route over and back. Had a 4 season day, saw rain, sleet, groppel, snow, hail and sun! I only started taking pic's at the cemetary in C.C., as the real storm started to roll over the Divide.

    looks like a fun day, are any of the spurs such as Sheridan hill open? Looks like there is a lot in that area.

    Sheridan is still drifted in pretty good. looking at my pic's, starting at the top left to right and down, #2,3, and 4 were taken from the spur off of 271.1 going toward Sheridan Hill though( the loop that goes around that little hill that overlooks toward Mt. Evans.)
    Enough stuff open to play around for a day or weekend for sure!!
