Great looking pics.

I was really excited to see the subject topic as I first thought it was some off-roading in Illinois. The wife and I are moving over there in a couple months and I had hoped this was going to give something to look forward to after the move.

Where the hell is that trail? ...looks like fun.

I've been on Spring Creek this year so far....that's it. STill snow in teh rock garden and you do need a winch to get up to that spot. There is still drifts up there 6 ft high.

Were you with the CO4x4 group? I was thinking about taking the jeep up this weekend.

The trail is part of the Rampart Range trail system.
