All,
I put together a quick video of what I captured today and posted it on the Overland Bound Rocky Mountain Facebook page. Wish I got more, but only got footage from Moab Hill

Thanks everyone for coming out today. We got a good taste of scrapes, snow, switchbacks, and some recovery time. I’d say it was a pretty good day!
Big thanks to @FR33DOM for spotting today. Some of those corners were a little hairy
Team, for anyone unfamiliar with Rainbow Falls, follow the link below to learn a little more. Don't let the medium difficulty scare you away from this trail. A stock SUV can do this. There are also multiple off shoots on this trail if we decide to take an easier path.

Team, I created a new rally point (see link below). I'm sure I forgot a lot of people, so please go in and populate. Thanks!
@Neal A. Tew - please let me know if this timing doesn't work for you, and we can adjust the topic or shift to solely doing a trail ride.
Everyone else - Please let me...
