Meet up with a FR4x4 group for some snow trails. In the end, we traveled where we could and stopped when the going became overly difficult. It was nice to get out. I always enjoy snow flocked pine trees - and there were many out today! |
The group snaking up the Saint Vrain Canyon road. This road, and its scenery, is a favorite of mine. |
On the Peak to Peak Highway on an outcropping overlooking "Peaceful Valley" is this building. Not sure what it is - house? church? |
Jumping up to Bunce School Road from highway 72. |
On the Ironclads trail at the first open parking area. The group is working up the first hill and obstacle. |
Vehicles, spaced out in case the "ahead" vehicle needs to back up to get a quicker run at the upslope. |
The snow and subsurface on Bunce & Ironclads, in the flat areas, made for an easy ride. |
On Ironclads, now turned around as the upper portion of the trail is too snow covered for us to try working up farther. Waiting for a few ahead vehicles to slowly navigate a downslope. |
Traveling north on the Peak to Peak highway to the Rock Creek trail. It looks like there is some snow approaching! |
Rock Creek trail. We're on a road called "Ski Road". Up into the hills, at the end, is a long defunct ski hill. |
Sections of this road proved slow going. |
