    Default HOLY CROSS!!



    Okay so I have been bitten and want to run this trail again! I am thinking a Tuesday in August. This way the snow is gone and the trail won't be packed.... Saturdays on HC basically is a parking lot at French Creek. Just curious who is in. I plan to camp at the bottom Monday night/Tues night. return Wed. Just curious on who would go.. thanks.

    EDIT - So I have figured out the date July 28!!!

    Well I wanted to do it on a NON-Weekend so that we can actually wheel and enjoy the trip. I also know that this will be a LOOOOOOONG day on the trail and wanted time!

    Right at the entrace there are actually a couple different campgrounds .. all within a mile on the same road. Dillion is a bit far I agree.

    Hmm...we'll see. I'm gonna be in Glenwood that week anyways so I may try to swing by. Really doubt I can make it in the Samurai but maybe ride shotgun in my buddy's XJ.

    I think you'd be surprised what the Samurai would make it up. Not sure what you have as far as a lift or tires, but I know KB (gecko) made it up that with 31" tires and maybe 4 inches of lift. He does have a rear locker, and as I recall had to go the easier way once or twice, but made it pretty far. I've seen Samurai's make it up stuff that big tube buggies had a challenge getting up. With a basic spring over conversion and a welded/spooled rear and some 31's you'd do just fine.

    I can't even imagine what I'll be up to by the time August comes around, so I'll have to let ya'll know then. I'd certainly be willing to try earlier in the summer though.

    I may be up for this depending on the date. I've been wanting to check out Holy Cross anyway. There are plenty of great camping and fishing spots in that area. I'd be happy to get after it, but Tuesday may be tough...
