Kind of short notice but if any one in the Colorado area is interested we will be running Half Moon Creek by Leadville on Saturday.

Were a newer group mostly Jeep guys but would love to get some Toyotas in the group as well.

How far are you planning to go and do you know the conditions? That trail goes over 12,000 with lots of water crossings. I would have to bet that snowdrifts are still a major factor and water will be deep from runoff. After the second water crossing and before Iron Mike there will no doubt be a huge drift that's impossible to cross. This is usually a mid July trail, but maybe you guys will get lucky. Wish I could join.

Have fun and be safe.

Yeah we are not sure yet what to expect, just a few of us that are itching to get out in the mountains... I will post a link to our trail report to let every one know if its passible or not.

We got with in half a mile of the mine on the fork to the left and then their were drifts over the trail we could not break through. I am certain that if the four of us who went all brought snow shovels we could have made short work of it and got the full trail open, I bet its all melted in the next 7-10 days, at least passable. The trail to the right is open all the way to the gate. The water is just high enough to be really fun, yet not sink your rig.
