    Default Jenny Creek/Mammoth gulch 6/5/15



    Adam (94ToyBear), his friend Aaron and I went up to run Jenny Creek. Didn't make it, but had a fun day and now we know something about the area conditions.
    Trail was dry other than the massive drifts. We turned around before making it far up Jenny Creek trail. A cool guy named Kurtis said that he tried but turned around because he was alone. We decided to add him to our group and turn back to try to cross over mammoth gulch and get to Idaho springs. That didn't last too long, but we had fun bashing and winching. The final drift that turned us around on mammoth gulch was around 8-9' deep and took a SASed runner on 37s about 10 tries to break through. Needless to say my truck was far behind by the time this happened. I hope that we expedited the thawing process by breaking up the smaller drifts, but it won't be passable for at least another week,

    Lol, it was great to just get away even if we didn't get far.
    We didn't even make it to the water hole. The guy we meet was coming down the trail and said it's not worth going going to JC, and the pass had a large drift aways up. We teamed up and headed to mammoth.

    I think by now it might be worth a shot. If I could go I would. If any thing Mammoth is open now thanks to a fellow FR member. (sorry forgot the name)

    Ran Jenny creek today. Man the new route is bumpy!

    we made it almost to the huge drift(where the winch point is) at the end but drifts stopped us probably 1mile from the end.

    did I mention it's bumpy?😄

    Not familiar with the winch point. If that about a mile from the top of the trail near the lake ?

    Yep, if you winch to the point your just about at the end of the trail by Yankee Doodle Lake.
