I'd definitely make a trip up to Creed as well. There's a nice little 20-ish mile above down that passes by several mines. Try google the "Rio Grande Backcountry Discovery Trail", goes from the CO-NM border over to the alpine loop. Shouldn't be nearly as much trail traffic as the Alpine Loop...
This past June, we led a small group of folks for a Trail Run Event in the Smith River National Recreation Area, right on the CA-OR border. We ended up doing the "heart" of the trail, but had to skip out on many of the out-and-back side adventures due to time. Smith River NRA really is a...
We were just up there before the Caldor fire explore. Guessing you guys didn't take your rigs down Pardoe's. I'm quite sure that a truck (short of a single cab short bed toyota) wouldn't make it through Pardoe's!
About 1.5 weeks, I had invited a group of friends out to the Downieville / Lakes Basin Area to hopefully take on the Lost Sierra Trail and capture some video along the way. Well, the Dixie fire wasn't having any of that as her smoke continued to bellow into the atmosphere and creep southward...
I'm selling my 18 mo old Columbus Variant that's in great condition. Available for local pickup in the SF Bay Area.
Here's what's included:
- Columbus Variant, medium (2 adults 1 child // (MSRP is $4100)
- Extra long model with a 55" x 90" mattress (you'll want this unless you're like 5'6")...
@cascadiarunner Was just at the east Fork this past weekend, but right above the lake and we did some exploring by Tamarack Lake. In fact, I think we stumbled across your camp. Is this about a mile down river of the bridge on road 25? I made sure to drop a pin as it's a super nice and...
Sounds like you need Gaia GPS with the Backroad Mapbooks layer for Canada, or, Backroad Mapbooks has their own app with offline capability. In all honesty, you might want to get both!
the drawback off the BRMB layer in Gaia, is that it doesn't have all of the POIs and other info that you get...
I think I'm going there have to get one... I was getting 7.5 mpg in my land cruiser 200 in the southern section of anza borrego a few weeks ago, albeit, running around 12 psi, but still. If only we could get Toyota's v8 twin turbo diesel stateside...
The only things Ng that concerns me is the...
The place is getting trashed, and technically, it's illegal to drive or camp on the beach, which is a big sticking point with CASP per one of thei
volunteer hosts at Usal. We plan to do some education about what is legally permissable, as well as helping people to come better prepared to pack...
Hi all,
There's a lot of talk about the public being shut out of Usal beach for a number of reasons. Were looking at organizing a cleanup + education event at the end of April. But because this won't be officially sanctioned by state parks, we'll need to dispose of the trash at the Caspar...
Curious, what sort of MPGs are you getting on the trail when fully loaded up and in 4 wheel drive? I'm also in CA, so we're probably on similar trails time to time. And have you had any issues with the latest generation of ecodiesel or any other issues? Definitely looking at this truck for...
I missed this one... but I've been chatting with one of the volunteers/camp hosts for Sinkyone State Parks that manages Usal, and they could definitely use some help with clean up + education. Apparently, there have been discussions about state parks shutting out or limiting public access due...
Rad stuff! Los Padres NF is right over the ridge, while it's hard to make loop routes with all of the gates that've been throw up, you can still get to some rad places for exploring and camping up there.
The California Backcountry Discovery Trail was a collaborative effort between the USFS and CA State OHV Parks to create a series of dedicated off road trails throughout the state, primarily on USFS managed lands. The Mendocino segment was the first to be established back in the 1990s, with...
I'm hoping to head down to Carrizo Plain during late winter/early spring and was hoping to explore some of the dirt roads and trails in Los Padres as well. I understand that a number of trails/roads have been closed in the last 10 years for a variety of reasons, really inhibiting the ability to...
