We had a great time yesterday! Didn't meet any
guys but that's ok. Along were me in Ol Red, my Daughter in her TJ, and two buds in their TJ and CJ's.
The trail was snow covered all the way up with about 8 - 12". We had a group of three in front of us doing a great job of breaking trail. How exactly they followed the trail I'm not sure, because when we passed them at the top we lost the trail several times! The last couple of hundred yards were very challenging indeed. Steep and slippery! Some of us took quite a few tries and the Daughter being open/open had to get tugged. The XJ being tailgunner had a great advantage and used momentum and screamed it's way up without stopping, lol.
After lunch at the top we continued west along the ridge. This proved to be an impossiblity! After traveling a mile or so (past the cattle gate and the overlook) we were basically lost! We obviously could follow our trail back out but we had no idea where the trail was. With everything snow covered it all looked the same. We ended up in a dead end of trees. Playing the smart card we decided to head back the way we came.
It was very slippery coming down too! We all made it without incident and had a great time. Here are some pics
