US Rocky Mountain 2nd Annual Buena Vista June Jam (Colorado Front Range)

[Neal A. Tew]

See the link in the RALLY POINT NOTES for the most current info.

This is our second annual extended weekend trip to Buena Vista Colorado!

--Please join us for an extended weekend of camping, exploring and getting to know our fellow Overland Bound members.

--This area offers countless camping opportunities as well as miles of mild 4WD roads. For those wanting something harder there are several high elevation 4WD roads nearby. We'll organize our 4WD outings as we finalize headcounts and determine what everyone is interested in.

--We will secure a campsite as early on Thursday as possible and will update this thread if the location changes.

See the notes section farther down the page for additional information.

Will be there, again.

Great!

This will just be us. We won't have to coordinate around the 14erFest.

 

[Neal A. Tew]

PLEASE RSVP if you plan to be there!

Ardie and I plan on being there, two members one rig. Hopefully late enough in June to have Tincup and others open.

I probably won't lead a run over Tin Cup because it requires the permit. I hate making folks feel like they have to buy it. There is so much to do there that doesn't require it. But I'm certainly open if that's something the whole group wants to do.

 

[RedRunner87]

Looks like a lot of fun!

 

[Carkill]

Sounds like a great time. I plan to be there

 

[Fortis Overland]

We’ll be there!

We’ll be there!

 

[Charles Drives Things]

We'll be there as well!

If you are referring to an OHV pass, Tincup Pass Rd does not require one. If you take the “old” Tincup Pass Rd (267.3d) that short section does require the pass, but it not necessary to do the pass (both sections divide and meet back up on same road). Options are always good.

LOL. (You'd have to have been here last year to know why I find this funny.)

Trailsoffroad.com lists it as permit required, but perhaps that is because they take some optional sections:

Tincup Pass, Colorado | Offroad Trail Guide & Map

Cutting through two National Forests and crossing the Continental Divide at 12,154 feet, Tincup Pass offers beautiful high alpine views while following the same route used by miners and prospectors searching for their fortunes in the late 1800s. This relatively easy route takes you from one...

In a hurried glance I do not see it listed in the staythetrails list.

That might be a good weekend trip all on it's own.

Agreed

 

[Neal A. Tew]

Agreed

Tin cup was never on the shortlist last year because the forest service had it closed.

As June draws closer we'll have another look.

Trying to plan fun rides taking into account skill levels and arrival times isn't always as easy as it sounds.

Sorry to hear it, but thanks for letting us know!

Wow! Neal the response to this is incredible, really looking forward to this.
