I have marked it on my calander and even got a hall pass to go. Looking forward to making it

 

Back to the top.

 

Don't forget yall, this is only about a week away.

I think Bill will have some updated info for us next week so that we all know where were goin, where to meet up, etc...

 

My wife and I will try to make it.

We have a stock 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 quad cab 4x4 diesel. No running boards or anything else.

Think we can traverse the trail?

Thanks
Frank

 

You should not have any problems. Last year when I went up this trail, there was a stock Yukon Denali coming from the Alice side. There are a couple spots that are moderate, but most of the trail is easy.

 

Bill,
I usually remove my running boards when I know i'm heading up, but this week is going to be jammed pack and I doubt I will have time. Do you think I need too (since you've seen this trail)? I would think that with 3" of lift, it shouldn't be that much of an issue. They actually don't hang down any lower then the pinch weld under the doors, but the stick out laterally a little. I'm usually more afraid of hitting them from the side then I am from the bottom.

 

We had plans this Saturday, but this sounds like alot of fun, i f I can swing it I'll be there. My rig is'nt really set up for off road, but is running great and I think it should do fine. If I do'nt make it you guys have fun.

I'm in Castle Rock

maybe
yes
either
no

 

Ok, everyone who is interested in this, here is the information we have posted on some other forums about this:

We are on for Saturday. Last count I did had about 10-12 confirmed, and another 10-15 maybe's, so the turnout should be good. We'll meet in Rollinsville at 10:00am. When you get to Rollinsville, go all the way through the town. Once at the end of town there is a very wide pull off area where we will wait until 10:30 am (but tryng to meet 10:00am). Then we will travel west on Rollins pass Rd about 4 miles to Tolland (a wide spot in the road, but does have signs). Right after Tolland is the left turn for the trail. It is not marked Kington Peak, it has a forrest service Rd number but I don't remember which until I see it, so make it to the meeting point!

If you are coming from the north/Boulder, take Hwy 119 west out of Boulder till you get to Nederland, then 119 south to Rollinsville.

If you are centrally located, you can go up Coal Creek Canyon rd to 119 and then south to Rollinsville.

If you are coming from down south, you can go to Golden and the take Hwy 6 to 119 (the Blackhawk/Central City rd.). Then go north on 119 through Blackhawk and then continue north to Rollinsville.

If you go to www.4x4trails.net you can see a description of the trail, but the guy who did the trail review describes it backwards from Alice to Rollinsville. Although this trail is generally considered a "one way" trail from Rollinsville to Alice, the trail is not posted one way so you occasionally run into somebody doing it backwards. Sucks to be them if they are coming down the big shelf road part because going up has the right of way!
