So thinking about the next trip. We can chat about it in the next club meeting. July I am thinking simply because snow and elevation plus I need to put my next Cruiser on the road!
It’s a long ways up there, 3hrs from Boise I would say to the trail head. Trailhead is 10 or so miles outside of Sun Valley. The trail is not that long, I would say 2-4hrs max if we stop a lot or have any problems. I have done it in about 45-1hr not stopping. It is super scenic though so nice to stop, take pics, have lunch and check things out on the trail. This trail is the Ouray of Idaho, absolutely stunning. A few slightly tough obstacles on the trail, rocks, a ledge or two, ect but there are bypasses for the most part. Lake at the top hung in the crags, small camp there but only room for couple trucks on level ground, 3-4max. Down below though at the old mining town of Boulder City plenty of large areas for a bigger group. I am sure some of you have been up there.
We could do it as an overnight but really it would probably be nicest as a 3-day trip so we have a day up there to explore and all that. Day up, day at camp/explore and day back. Coming back through Stanley is really nice for a “loop” but probably adds 2hrs to the return trip.
Looking for feedback on dates people could make for a 3-day trip in July and a possible head count.
Cheers
