Reason for the short day. Just outside of the tree line and right before the picture of my truck next to a snow bank on the road. I had came across a father and son coming back down the mountain in their Volkswagon CUV and stopped to talk with them (noticed that they looked like to be on...

End of the road due to the snow. On my first trip here the road was still covered in the same area. The view from Hermit Peak Marmot Almost back to the truck. Even though it was a unplanned short day it was still worth it to get and explore.

Almost 10 years ago to the date (minus 5 days) took a trip up to Hermit Pass, Colorado for some hiking and decided earlier in the week to head back after finding my old trip report while doing some searching (Hermit Pass Colorado 6/16/12 ) for some places to go hiking. The plan was to head up...

I'll be at the expo sometime of Saturday.

Collapsed mine entry - the steel pipe coming from it had running water. Final shot before heading back down the trail. There is an area in the basin called the 'Iron Fens' that you can hike back too which I didn't do on this trip but the area looks interesting: A Hidden Gem: Geneva...

Spent the last day of a two week vacation a back in September exploring the Geneva Creek area here in Colorado. The final destination is somewhere back there in one of those valleys. Remains of the old mill judging by the debris

Took a quick trip up to Mt. Antero two weekends ago. The plan was to drive to the highest point at 13,800' then hike the remainder of the way up to Mt. Antero at 14,269' but once reaching the upper parking area I opted not due to the high winds and temperatures - I had a difficult time standing...

Halfmoon Creek trail

Spent sometime up in the Halfmoon Creek area of Colorado last weekend. I've wanted to visit this area for quite awhile and was finally able too. Sketchy section of the trail. Champion Mill. I would've liked to check it out put there is a newer gate up along the road so I had to settle...

No idea on that.

The car is currently off the market, due to flakes and lack of interest.

After a left turn a short ways after it was down another set of short switchbacks and into the Hams Fork area. Again, another low use area but there were camps dispersed along the entire section of road. Last major stop the old Elk Creek Ranger station. A shot looking back from the...

Lake Alice The one fisherman I saw Trails further around the lake. I hung out in the area for a short time before heading back. When I was researching this area prior to the trip the Forest Service site noted that this area show low use and I can tell you that in does. The pithouse up...

Hit the cutoff for Lake Alice and Hobble Creek campground and started back. View of the valley below and the final descent (switchbacks) to the road below. Stream crossing at the bottom, the first murky section is the deepest and the section though the actual stream isn’t deep maybe 1/3 up...

Further down the trail nearing my next turnoff. Here is the cutoff to Cokeville (BLMR 4217) at first I didn’t believe the description or the sign thinking it was a little off so I drove down the road about a mile and didn’t see any other turnoffs so I headed back and down the road...

Part 2 - July 1, 2018 This is the continuation and completion of the route that I set out to do at the beginning of May but due to snow not all the roads were open at that time. While the Wyoming Backroads book and the Wyoming benchmark maps were some great resources for this trip I think...

I was surprised to see the road this clear but I'm assuming it was only this clear at the moment due to a logging operation that was going on further down the trail. The road ahead leads down to Hams Fork but it is not open yet. My original plan was to come from the other side along...

The 2nd half of the day it was exploring a portion of Tunp Range and seeing if the routes back to Lake Alice and the Devil’s Hole was open yet as well as a secondary route back to Kemmere Wyoming. Both the Wyoming Backroads book and the Wyoming Benchmark Maps came in handy while back in these...

Part 1 - May 6, 2018 Spent yesterday morning hiking the Quarry and Nature Trails in Fossil Butte National Monument before heading over to the Cokeville Meadows National Wildlife Refuge area to check it out. Quarry Trail Nature Trail Along the western edge of the Cokeville...
