Feb 3-4

Anyone thinking of going out Feb 3rd or 4th, I have not been out since October. I am in the Loveland area and open to suggestions. I think 7 mile is usually open just not sure of snow load up there, that is usually a super easy one. Let me know if there is any interest in that or something else.

I haven't been out on a trail in a while. Would like to get out on a mild run. I don't have any chains, so I have been cautious about heading out this winter.

[66cobra]

(famous last words). I have never needed them on this trail. I have a winch,looks like you as well.

[open_circuit]

Yes, I have a winch, which I've never used and came with the Jeep when I bought it last year.

Might be interested in getting out, we were thinking of running Mnt Herman down our way.
(Shake down run with a buddy)
But if that falls apart and I can join you guys up north (maybe???)

Maybe it’s time for a little practice winching session??

[66cobra]

No worries, I have had plenty of practice
Saturday mid morning works best for me

[JandDGreens]

7 mile area? Saturday Noon-ish. You going to post it with all the details?

[dieseldoc]

So what's the plan here....I need trail time...and a +1

I'd be interested as well, but I'm not too familiar with 7 mile area. Where exactly are you thinking of going?

[TJS86TOY]

Interested as well. As long as it's not to far.

Sevenmile is a good 2 hour drive to the trailhead for me, but its a trail (along with the rest of the "mud loop" trails) that I really want to do. I would like to join but have a feeling this might not happen for me. 50/50 chance I can make this.... but if I can't I'll probably do something close to home ---> was thinking MILLER ROCK, DRY ST VRAIN (BIG JOHN MOUNTAIN) or just messing around on PARACHUTE HILL for a few hours. We're potentially getting a little rain/snow tonight and then again on Sunday.... it's really dry up in the mountain right now ;-)

Weather indicates a heavier snowfall for Northern Colorado tonight and tomorrow so this may end up being more interesting than normal.I have run this before in deep snow and it was still fairly easy with decent tires. General Plan would be to meet up at Glen Echo resort in Rustic Colorado @10:30-11:00 on Saturday approx 25 mi West of 287 on CO/SH 14 (10 min W. of Kelly Flats trail head) They have a fuel station there as well as a restaurant with good breakfast.

I will confirm trail is open and post the specifics later today. Thanks for the interest

[JandDGreens]

Still trying to nail down plans.

[66cobra]

Larimer ranger district says trail open, I will move to planned run

[TJS86TOY]

Sorry, bit far for a day trip. Have fun!

[RockyMtRebel]

Yea I have to be in Boulder in the afternoon so I'm going to post a Sat morning short run near Lyons --- Miller Rock and/or Dry St Vrain for a 3-4 hour morning run. Phillip you interested?? We could do Dry first, it's easy but rarely travelled and beautiful. Then we could check out Miller Rock, we can just not do the hard obstacle - there are a bunch of easy trails and some moderate stuff right near Miller Rock!
Anyone else is welcome to join also! Thinking 8am start and finished at noon!
