I'll be taking five rigs to Kerr lake in CO via Elwood pass on Fri aug 28. This is a hard trail so you'll need 33" min and 4low. We'll depart ABQ Fri morning, not sure the time as of yet. We can nail this down as the day approaches but we need to hit the trail soonish as it gets clogged with UTVs and the like heading up the pass. We'll be airing down near this spot then heading up Elwood pass to the lake. This is NOT a trailer friendly trip going up Elwood pass.
At this time, I'm limiting this trip to five rigs due to the need for distancing and availability of camping spots. I have a large opening area in mind at the lake, assuming it's not taken. If it is taken, then we'll need to grab spots at other spots on an individual basis as the lake doesn't offer flat, level spots in abundance. There are only six spots at this lake and plenty of open land away from the lake where you can camp. We'll head home via Platoro, CO instead of going back down Elwood pass so that you can get a good idea of the area.
This is an alpine lake, which means it's nearly 11k elevation so bring appropriate gear and a hammock and your fishing gear. It's a catch and release lake using artificial lures ONLY. If you're into fishing, please bring up fish from Smith's so that I can eat freshly cooked fish in the wild after you're done fishing
.
Yes, the water in this lake is frigid so if you're onto polar plunges, you're in luck. I'm not sure if camp fires are allowed so we'll have to check on that as there is plenty of bark beetle kill in this forest
Bring your hiking shoes, trek poles, MTBs, SUPs, hydration packs, sun hats, Kayaks, dogs, etc. I now own an adapter for inflating SUPs and kayaks using my OBA. The last time I was there, I spent WAY too much pumping that stupid thing to 20 psi
