Trail Blazing on 12-11-11 any takers?
- Thread starter magert54
- Start date
I was hoping to get out on Sunday myself. Was planning on bringing my other runner out, but some fun snow bashing in the DD would be fun too. Is there snow on Chinawall? I'm hoping for some snow bashing. I'm in Castle Rock, so anything close to the Springs works for me too.
BTW, I did run Carnage BV a couple weekends ago, and there was minimal snow down there. I probably wouldn't run Chinamen's in my DD. But open to easy trails and snow bashing. Rock crawling is for my buggy.
EDIT: I've got a stock v8 runner on 32's.

I'd vote for exploring around Rampart Range near Hacket/Longwater Gulch. Exploring behind the Broadmoor would be fun too. I probably wouldn't go into Eagle Rock. I just haven't built any protection yet, and it would kill me to damage my rig because I had none.
Anyways, once a decision is made, post up! Hope to meet some fellow 4runner enthusiasts.

Fracking eight trucks......that's Awesome! (Until we have to make a tight U turn at a dead end lol) its great to see this many people ready to go. Since Sunday is just around the corner, can someone get a list of trails that are behind the broadmore so that we are prepared and aware of what this and that trail is....thanks again guys.
I think if we just tooled around on Gold Camp and Old Stage Road that would be fun. Taking any spurs we wanted to try out. I have a map of the area. I know Eagle Rock is back there, but as I said, I really don't want to tackle the trail in the snow. I've already almost fallen off that trail one time before.

I know the area pretty well. FS381 is alot of fun, has a ton of area to explore along the trail. FS379 is the start of the Mt. Baldy trail and has a few good spurs to it. This road also has a nice wide open parking area for photos/lunch. If we explore just those 2 roads it coul easily take 8-10 hrs. If theres time i would love to tackle bull park again but that trail would be very difficult with any real snowcover.

I'll bring whatever maps I have of the area and info from traildamage.
We should definitely have a couple shovels in the group, too in case there's more snow than we expect. I'll have my usual off-road/camp shovel and throw in a full-size snow shovel so we have it.
Looking forward to seeing you guys on Sunday... should be fun! :driving:
