We're planning a trip to Colorado this summer, and we're wanting to hike to Trinity Lake and Storm King Peak from the Hunchback Pass trailhead off of Stony Pass. Would it be safe to park my 1996 Tacoma here for a couple nights? It is many miles down a 4x4 road, which I figured would deter most opportunistic thieves, but I had heard about trailhead break ins in Colorado, so I wanted to make sure.
We were also planning an overnight hike from the upper Yankee Boy Basin trailhead, where it turns into the Mt Sneffels/Blue Lakes trail, which is again accessible by 4x4s and UTVs only.
I'm wondering how much people worry about this in general. It seems hard to avoid parking overnight at a trailhead if you want to go backpacking.
