Notes:
Sand Flats Recreation Area: there will be a one time $10 fee per vehicle that will cover us for the week.
A $25 fee per vehicle for Arches NP (Tuesday's trail run).
NP's offer lifetime, and annual discount passes. One such pass would be a $20 annual fee for seniors.
https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/pa...P_JUMP_5088574
Most of the trails will have an elevation of 5000 ft, except Top of the World at 7000 ft
Hell's Revenge and other trails have go arounds to avoid obstacles if need be.
Nothing is carved in stone we can make adjustments to the trails as we go. I'm sure the trail mileage is not spot on, but close enough.
This run does not replace Dave's Ouray/Silverton trail run in August.
What to Bring
Your street-legal 4x4 vehicle, in good working order, with no major leaks or mechanical problems, and tires with respectable tread life remaining. We will be running on paved roads and as such every vehicle must be registered, inspected, and insured per your state's requirements.
-Lunch - We'll be eating on the trail as we go - not a specific lunch stop location
-Good attitude! We're here to enjoy our hobby.
Other Important Info
We observe Tread Lightly! guidelines, no exceptions. This means; respect for the environment and setting an example of responsible enjoyment of the outdoors. Pack out all trash you bring in. Tires WILL be aired down to limit wheel spin. Mud & water will be navigated no faster than needed. Our group will travel in a way that will minimize damage to the road and erosion. If you're not sure what is appropriate, just ask a leader or gunner for advice on airing down and Tread Lightly in general.
At this time there will be a 10 rig limit.
