CO, Bronco run up Holy Cross 3rd annual

[david heater]

Trying to work out the logistics...

Did anyone ever answer the question on how long (at 60mph) a drive from the I70/C470 interchange to the trail head?

Any estimates on how long it will take to run the trail? I know I should expect the unexpected on this trial.

Am I insane for eveing thinking its possible to get back and forth from Denver and run the trial in the same day? Does 12 to 14 hours for the entire day sound about right for those of you who have done it before?

I drive up there every year for the past three so your not NUTS, I would plan on about 3-hours, this is one reason we pick this trail every year it is pretty close to being equal for both the western slope guys and those of us in denver.
as for how long 12 to 14 hours is about right, maybe longer depending on traffic on I-70. it will be a long day but it is worth every minute of it...

Thanks for the information! I'm in provided I-70 isn't closed due to more rock slides.

I posted this on colorado4x4 but just want to get a fast response before I go.

Is there a loop for getting back down to the trail head or do you have to go back down the trail?

Is there anyone camping on saturday night?

And on the 4x4trails.net map there is a yellow road that loops around to about mid trail is that easy or difficult? My dad is going to come up and meet walk up the trail because all he has is a chevy blazer and I was wondering if he could come up that little bypass?

If someone could help me out with those questions I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Put a fork in me... last minute babysitter issues have forced me to pull the plug.

broncobear22, there are a couple of replies to your question on CO4x4.

Man, I know of at least four people who've backed out in the past couple of days. :'( I hope we have a good turnout... I'm heading up this afternoon, after filling the Dodge CTD tow rig and the Bronco; don't even want to think what that's gonna cost.

Hope to see a bunch of you there. ;D

DAMM IT! believe me if my foot could stand a little weight on it I would be there in a heart beat. I just went out and tried to get in my bronco and it is a mother you know what. then getting out is the real fun part i hit it on the cage and that sent me into orbit.
I really hope there is a good turn out for this run.....

What CB channel is everyone going to be on?

We are coming up Saturday morning so don't start without us!! We will have 2 broncos on trailers and we are leaving at 4:00 in the morning, I think that is going to give us enough time to get up there.

im leaving in a hour, is anyone camping all weekend? where is everyone meeting? lets do this

 

[david heater]

i'm not sure how far in Steve will be. if I'm right he is in about two miles and he will be on the left side of the dirt road...he has a bright orange bronco.
have fun guys

We are staying up there saturday night when we get back down. Is there a few places to park an RV? My shop manager is coming up in his RV and needs to know if there is a place to park his motorhome. Please let me know.
Thanks

YES, if you are up there with Steve take his spot, last year he parked his RV at one of the places off to the left of the gravel dirt road. like I said he is more then likley in one of these spots. If he's not just scout it out on the way down. Have fun guys
