OK so I got back late last night after a full day in the mountains. My gf just bought a brand new Rubicon and this was her first chance to get it dirty...
Just for KSKJ, we had to check out Velocity Basin. Still a little snowy...
It may have been wishful thinking at the time, but we tried Hurricane Pass next and got turned around by snow about half way up...
After turning around we decided to check out Corkscrew Pass... odds were slim that it was open but why not? The weather quickly turned bad (as it does at 11,000ft)
The pass was open with a touch of snow at the top... on the ground AND in the sky...
The way down the backside was a little soupy... but loads of fun
The new Jeep after its first time off road
Now that we found ourselves at the Corkscrew Gulch Trailhead, it was time to explore the area by Brown Mountain and the Gray Copper Mine Trail.
Did I mention that she is a new Jeeper? Yes that's a tree in her wheelwell... it was fun to remove
Mining ruins...
We just skirted bad weather most of the trip...
But it turned out to be an awesome way to spend a day...
I'll be keeping you guys updated as the trails melt out!!!
