Bill Moore Lake?

[Rhino95]

Anyone been up lately? Wanna take the girl up there, but wanna make it all the way to the lake without getting stuck.

YJ, open, 32s.

Thanks.

[jimfoo]

HAHAHA, dream on!!!

[Big Dave]

You got jokes!

[zoriloco]

Hey let me know when you plan on going. Ive always wanted to run that trail.

[jimfoo]

On a normal, lower than normal snow year, it usually doesn't open until mid-late June. Unless we get a lot of hot weather, it will probably open later than that.

[RegisOffRoader]

I drive by Empire every weekend on my way to winter park to board, and from the snow that is in town, I would say you won't even make it past the 2 maybe 3rd switch back. We won't make it to the lake like jimfoo said till mid June maybe. Mid May you might be able to make it to Fall River Res if you just want to reach a high altitude lake, but even that is a long shot right now.

[rubbersidedown]

You could make it no problem!!!


























































. . .on a snowmobile!! :D

i'm thinking that the high-altitude wheelin season will be a tad-bit late this year. that said...

(I guess I didn't realize how high Bill Moore is since it's so close to Denver. Never really thought about it.

Last year--from http://www.bushducks.com/tripreps/passopen_2007.htm:

6/10/07 - Tried from two different trails (West from inside the gate and East up the switchbacks on the right). Got to within .9 miles of the lake at 11500 ft with ~5' of snow.

7/7/07 - The Trail is open all the way to the Lake. There is still snow at the end of the trail, but it does not cross the road.

Alright then, any scenic trail open yet?

[MinesJeep]

I hear I-70 is nice this time of year :flipoff2:

[jimfoo]

Yeah, unfortunately this time of the year, and this year in particular, you don't have much choice in trails, scenic or not.

[DADA_JEEP]

last year i was with the group that was the first to LEGALLY get to the lake, it was 4th of July weekend. This year may be even later. There is some stuff open, metberry, bunce school (maybe)

[Rhino95]

Yeah I'm thinkin I'll hit up Metberry one of these days. Hopeing black bear will be open on the 4th of july weekend. Last year it wasn't and this year...fat chance :(

[ColoradoXJ]

yeah dude... i'm gonna put my vote down for 'not a chance' on black bear...

[JKTODD]

You could take her to Moab for the weekend.:)

[zoriloco]

I hear I-70 is nice this time of year :flipoff2:

Not even, I heard there was a 14 car accident up there

[jimfoo]

Try 50 cars, 1 fatality and at least 16 people with broken bones, bruises, and scrapes were transported to Vail Valley Medical Center.

[zoriloco]
