Curious if there is snow on the top. Looking to take a family friendly group of newish wheelers up there (Saints John) this Sunday. Trail goes to about 11K feet (Red Cone is near by and same basic elevation that is why I ask).

Anyone?

We will be trying to work on Radical again, Ranger or not this time. There is a chance we may have to stop traffic depending on what we have to do with the big rock. Jut an FYI

I fit around it in a full-size. I would NOT try to go over it.

Just fyi,
Red cone goes a bit higher than 11k, I think the top is about 12.8k +/-
That extra 2k makes the weather a tad nastier too.

Still, it is supposed to be nice around here this weekend, so weather shouldn't be an issue.

I know that but thanks.:shrug: Red cone is 12,801 accoding to the sign at the top. ;) The point was really that if Red Cone was passable then Saints John would be passable. :P (Since more people here tend to go to Red Cone.)

This picture was taken at the top of Red Cone in 1999. This was the last wheeling trip I took my dad on before his stroke:(

Thanks for the info. I don't think we will be crossing your path. If we do we will say high and maybe help a little. Keep up the good work.
