Heaing out to solid axle summit #3 from Missouri via a round about route. Pan on meeting up at Yeoman Park Yeoman Park Campground, White River, CO: above Eagle Colorado. Our original plan was to run Rimrocker Trail | Montrose to Moab from Moab to Montrose Co but after several campfire discussion last winter we decided to look for something to take into Moab different than the normal highway drive. After a little research we locked in on the Kokopelli trail starting near fruita colorado. The research show it to contain amazing sites and offered varied terrain from dirt roads to technical wheeling. Top of the world Top of the World Trail and Rose garden MOAB EJS: Rose Garden Hill - 2016 - TeraFlex.
After more research and discussion on temps in early August a friend suggested a different start to the trip that would allow for higher altitude camping on the early part of the trail and in his opinion better views via the Dolores triangle route running though glade park and connecting to the Kokopelli near dewey bridge. This brings with it a caveat of having the Dolores low enough to ford with the heavy snow melt this year. I am currently monitoring the USGS water gauges and most likely won't be able to pick the route till the start of the trip.
