Webster pass-Radical Hill-Saints John - Friday 7/29

[RockyMtRebel]

Start and end in Montezuma. High mountain loop trail starting with Webster pass, then taking Radical hill up to Saints John which ends near Montezuma. Shouldn’t be too long of a day but with commute time it won’t be short either 😎

Whos interested? I have not done any of these trails yet and would like to

[RockyMtRebel]

Or as an alternative that might be a little longer but maybe not… Webster pass to the start of Red Cone and then Red Cone to Webster pass and back to Montezuma.
Im also thinking of a noonish start to finish around dinner time 🤙🏽

Noon-ish start does crack my eye! Put me down for VERY interested. My Friday is scheduled for this.

Let me post up some GPS track log times from prior visits...

I will post it on the calendar

I guess we can decide exactly which routes to run when we get there and depending on conditions, how we are doing for time, etc

[RockyMtRebel]

Based on your time stamps Jim, I would not be opposed to Webster - Red Cone - Radical Hill - Saints John……. Considering a noon start I don’t mind getting home in the dark so we can consider doing the same loop you did last August or we can take our time and do either Red Cone or Radical hill…. I won’t be disappointed with either option 😁

[Jim]

Sure thing. I'm game for anything. Rolling through Denver after both rush hours is a bonus by me.

MEETING PLACE & TIME: Meet in Montezuma at trailhead (Montezuma rd and Webster Pass road) coordinates (39.56784° N, 105.86022° W) at NOON-ish

I'll meet where you wish though I'd recommend not meeting at the above spot - it's small and the Montezuma folks aren't overly friendly to passing through traffic.

A couple options for air-down/meet spots:

39.564233, -105.860539 Deer Creek trailhead

39.592022, -105.870964 Montezuma Road @ Peru Creek Road (my first choice)

39.609377, -105.942907 Keystone parking lot
