I'm heading out around BuenaVista this weekend and going to be wheeling for a week in that area. I've heard you had lots of snow out there. Is anything open? We are actually staying in Taylor.
If you want to join up with a group of us, we're all staying at the Chalk Creek Campground in Nathrop just a couple miles south of Buena Vista. Friday night is a dinner and prize raffle, Saturday is the whole group running Chinaman's.
Couple of questions for you, I'm staying in manitou springs fri night. How long would it take to get from there to the trail? When do you guys plan on starting and how long will it take? I also need to be back in Taylor sat night. How long will it take to get from Chinaman Gulch to Taylor?
Chinaman's is about 40 min from Taylor. High passes ie Tincup, Hancock, Taylor are slowly melting. They should be fully open and runable by the weekend.
