Red Cone 8-22-09
It ended up being G.I.G. Glen, Myself, and Shawnstcyr (Shawn). Shawn was running late, very late, lol he did meet us at the peak of Red Cone, we was Shocked, very glad ya made it.
Lets say I was wrong about this trail, I always thought it was basically a gravel road, that went up to about 12K feet, I was WRONG, it has a little bit of everything, VERY great trail.
Well heres a "teaser" pix

Good pics,I haven't doen Red Cone in my '99 yet so it'll be on my agenda soon but I did do it in my GF's '94 base Toy PU when it was new with only 1200 miles on it and she was having a few tense moments.
