Saturday wheelin - far northern Switzerland trail spurs

[RockyMtRebel]

This section is a little harder than southern section and has a pretty challenging little hill climb called Cliffhanger 2.0 that is fun. I want to get out for at least a few hours, maybe even longer. Meet a few miles east of Ward on Lefthand Canyon road and Sawmill on the attached picture left of center. The trails right in the center are what I’m going to run. Any stock 4x4 should be fine.
Let me know if anyone is interested....I’m also up for other ideas ;)

Matt what about Sunday? I can’t tomorrow and the weather looks a little warmer. Also last time I was up, there’s a big snow drift on 461.1b to 461.1a but cliff hanger was good. Have fun! I might run Bunce or dry st vrain(you mentioned) on Sunday if you or any one else is interested.

[RockyMtRebel]

I can probably join ya on Sunday also! I wanna get as much in before going back to work on the 2nd!

[cnstaco]

Awesome!

[RockyMtRebel]

Dry St Vrain is nice and quiet but kind of boring to be honest but great for bringing mom or just to get away for an hour. Ironclads is very very icy.... I went there yesterday and was sliding around very early on(at which point I realized my rear locker was leaking so I headed down to fix it). Bunce would be fun for sure, deep snow near the gate and it’s getting a dusting right now but sure to see a million UTV/ATV’s. The rental places have been very active at Bunce lately, every day they are running so on the weekend we are sure to see a lot ..... which is why I’m trying to find other places ;)

[cnstaco]

Yep not a fan of icey or boring lol. What about The Gulches? I haven’t been down there yet but kinda far.

[RockyMtRebel]

Way too far for me..... but lots of fun.

do you have a winch? Pennsylvania gulch would be fun.... definitely will be winching a few icy areas and not for the stock vehicles but you ain’t stock ;)

[cnstaco]

No winch yet lol, I have done that trail in the summer it’s not bad but right now yeah definitely need a winch. What about Illinois gulch that one is a little closer or what about north?

[RockyMtRebel]

Dude, if you do any winter wheelin you gotta get a winch. The Smittybilt 9500 is cheap, I bought it with synth rope for less than $400 and it’s paid for itself many times already!

Illinois gulch is down near the other gulches, more than 3 hour drive just to get to the trailhead for me. I’m sticking around the Peak to Peak .... Peawink Mountain is west of Boulder off of Sugarloaf road and might be fun to check out. Switzerand trail and Gordon gulch area is very close also so we could string a few routes together. we could go to Yankee Hill.... was open all the way up just a couple weeks ago and could definitely be fun.

[cnstaco]

Winch is definitely on the list but that’s why I’m going with you so you can pull me out like last year lol;). I’m good with peak to peak on Sunday haven’t explored that peawink trail yet.

I ran metberry yesterday... little snowy but a great trail his time of year. Let me know if you want to run it sometime

[xaza]

Sure would like to get out and tear up some snow but not sure I can be ready by Sunday. Really need to buckle down and get the T-case ripped from Wylie's rig to get him back out. Will keep an eye on this and see what happens tomorrow.

[RockyMtRebel]

Got another dusting last night..... I’m either running the far northern Switzerland trail spurs today or I’d be up for running Yankee Hill, Pickle Gulch or Pennsylvania Gulch if anyone is interested in bit of a challenge

[RockyMtRebel]

Ok looks like I’m going to run Yankee Hill today, meeting at OHV parking area at 11am in case anyone is interested

[RockyMtRebel]

You still up for Peawink mt and maybe Gordon gulch tomorrow Taco???

[cnstaco]

Yep, we can meet at like 10 if that works?

[RockyMtRebel]

Actually I can’t make it tomorrow. Sorry man, my son wanted to go tomorrow but now he doesn’t want to until after 2pm and that’s too late of a start so wife said no wheelin tomorrrow ;-/

[cnstaco]

No worries Matt I know how that goes, my Tacoma buddy said no as well so I may just wait and try and run Switzerland with the group on Tuesday.
