    Default Spring Creek or Saxon mountain road to Cascade creek on Friday 8/



    Near Idaho Springs, spring creek is rated difficult (5/8) with a bypass for the Wall (8 rating) but supposed to be sustained difficultly most of the way. Saxon mountain is easier and mostly a very steep and narrow shelf road. Both meet at the top and Cascade creek (rated 4/4) is a nice run back down the mountain.
    I have not done these (did some of the lower sections of Cascade creek a few winters ago) and would probably not run this solo. It’s about 1.5 hours to get to trailhead for me, mid to late morning startup would be ideal 🤙🏽
    Anyone interested??

    If I don’t get any takers on this I’m thinking about running out to Breck and then taking Middle fork Swan River east to Saints John and heading north to Montezuma. It’s like the more solo friendly version of doing Red Cone 🤣🤣🤣 only because it’s in the same vicinity!

    Spring creek the first obstacle can be bypassed completely, there is also a bypass that has gotten pretty torn up. Very possible to roll the front up and over on the wall, far right is best line. Definitely recommend a spotter for that one. Most other obstacles can be managed without a spotter by a solid driver familiar with their rig.
