"Just some info: Guessing you are not going to run all 3 trails in 5 hours if you spend any time fiddling at a couple of the hard spots or any time checking out the river at the bottom. Getting two trails in completely with the short daylight hours is probably much more reasonable, especially given its a bit of drive from denver area. I like Metberry a lot - has a few fun spots and should be completely runnable for the elephant - even the rock slab at the bottom. Longwater is mostly easier except for the rock obstacle - Not sure the rear overhang on a truck will like that obstacle, although running the sidehill, offcamber high line to right (on the way down) might work. Keep in mind that you go down first, so make sure you can get back up before committing down or have a winch (especially if there is any snow) - all the major obstacles have good winch points at the top. Its certainly worth running Longwater down to the rock and its possible to turn around just above the rock with a bit of care. I am not as familiar with Hackett, but it might a better option as the second trail given the Longwater rock. Can't see having the jeep running this weekend with the radiator repair still underway."
Maybe I could swing by to pick you up?
