    Default Clearing Chihuahua Gulch to waypoint 6



    We took the two old Toyotas up Chihuahua gulch today. The water crossing at trailsoffroad waypoint 5 was about a foot deep, with a 4 foot drift on the far shore. Tried winching up it but we were just dragging the rock anchors downhill. Half an hour of shoveling and I broke through with a bit of lighter winching. The trail still has 2 foot drifts at waypoint 6, they're totally winch/bashable but with rain setting in we turned back. Other standing water up that point gets up to 2 feet deep right now.

    Thx for the pix!

    I have driven on Peru Creek / been by the trailhead for Chihuahua - but that's as close as I've been to the trail. Maybe this summer - this trail and perhaps Santa Fe Peak might make for a day trip.

    It's a beautiful trail! We want to go back when it's fully clear and make the hike to the lake too.
