Alright Everyone, tentatively here is the plan:
Thursday, September 16th
Since we will be leaving from FOCO, we will likely not make it to Ironton until roughly noon (6.5-7 hr drive for us). Plan will be to set up camp maybe spend some time exploring Ouray once we have camp with a few others established. I will have my Zoleo with me so others can reach us incase we don't have good cell signal. Thursday will serve as our meet and greet day, relaxed and maybe some afternoon runs on some of the easier trails for those interested. Possibility for arriving via Cinnamon Pass - TBD
Friday, September 17th
Black Bear Pass/ Ophir Pass to Telluride, Imogene pass to Yankee Boy Basin to Ouray
We will likely split into 2 groups for this part of the trip. One group will head out on Black Bear pass likely leaving earlier in the morning to account for longer trail time. Alternatively we can have everyone head out to black bear until the point of no return. Those those that want to proceed downhill head down black bear and those that don't can return to the trail head and go down to ophir pass and head in to telluride to wait/explore. From Telluride everyone re-groups then we can set out for Imogene together and make our way to yankee boy basin out to ouray. For those interested we can spend some time in Ouray before heading back to camp.
Saturday, September 18th
Trail selection TBD
We will be running some easier more local trails to give us the option to explore the towns of Ouray and Telluride more with options for more difficult trails for those interested.
Sunday, September 19th
Last day on this trip for us unfortunately. We will set out Sunday morning for Engineer Pass. From there head out towards Lake City, Co at which point we will say our goodbyes.
