Alpine Loops conditions

Hows the snow pack looking up there? Planning a 4th July trip and we want to hit some of the offshoots like hurricane ebasin (not pass) and brown mountain.
Last year was epic snow pack.
Any locals or brave souls?

Imagine what they thing of us?! Hikers abusing 14’ers in CO

Hikers damaging some of Colorado’s best 14ers

They will stop at nothing until NOBODY is allowed to go ANYWHERE off paved roads

Hikers damaging some of Colorado’s best 14ers

Quote:

Bradt says the trail used to be 18-inches wide, and now, it’s around 30-inches wide because people are hiking in large groups. In those large groups, Bradt says they spread out and don’t follow the trail, walking around the path on the grass and vegetation.

Bradt says if hikers don’t starting respecting the trail, it’s questionable if the mountain can sustain this kind of use in the future.


I personally think a 14,000′ tall MOUNTAIN can handle a 30" WIDE hiking trail without falling down, imploding, blowing away, turning to dust, or anything else man with walking shoes and a dog can inflict on them
They want tourism, they want their sport to grow, but not if the 18" wide trail gets to be 30" ???????

Close more trails, where do you think the hikers will hike next? They will start hiking on the next mountain closest to the city, and then its trail will widen from 18-30", then they will want to close this one down….less trails in the area = more hikers on open trails = more ammunition for closing more trails??? UN SUSTAINABLE. Colorado is the new California, NO THANKS!!!!!!!!

PEOPLE live on Planet Earth and we like to adventure outdoors, GET OVER YOURSELF, Who made these asshats the "trail width police"?
They will focus on anything to get more control away from the people.
THESE ARE OUR MOUNTAINS, not theirs? They are lucky we dont take our Jeeps to the tops of these hiking trails…and why shouldn’t we be allowed to? Its hurting the mountain? These mountains were formed by tectonic plates pushing against each other, oceans, wind and water…but your hiking is going to cause damage they "cant handle"?????? Who are these people???? God?
I’m so done with this liberal agenda

Imagine what the trail police think of our 64" wide 108HP 4wheel drive monsters? I already know what they think, and I know what I think, its time to FIGHT BACK. For hikers, bikers, dog walkers, scouts hunters, 4 wheelers, single track, fishermen, ANYONE who wants to go up a damn mountain that they feel they paid for with their blood sweat and tears! FIGHT BACK. If your eyes see a mountain on public lands you feel like walking up DO IT. Pretend you are a kid again, make a walking path, find a way to the top and have some adventure in your life…the Earth can TAKE IT..SOB this gets my blood boiling. Next liberals will want to control what parts of the land the deer walk on, and the cattle paths…shoot we cant have those! Those suckers are how man found his way up here in the first place! Get right to the source…animals. Stop them from destroying the earth and making walking paths everywhere….

You and your feet are a disease to this planet!! Are you serious?? Don’t walk on the plants people, the Earth cannot handle your weight and footwear, the path might get wider as more people use it!! OH NO!! MAYBE WE NEED A ROAD? That’s how we got roads around here if I remember right…people walk, then they get horses, then a horse and buggy then finally the auto horse with wheels….. Can I take my jet pack to the top of the 14’ers? Will they build me a jet pack landing area designated for jet pack users only? What if my jet pack is solar powered?…Im sure they will want to control our "hover horses" also when man creates them

Thanks for listening, /Rant

Where to ride in Co. or UT,

I live in Indiana and want to head out west and have some fun for about a week. Vacation for the wife and also enjoy the riding. This will more the likely happen once so I would like to really hit a nice park. I also will probably bring my 900s and was not sure about the trails if they allow 60" machines. Thanks for any help and suggestions.

Tucson Storage Help

Would like enclosed storage and trailer is 8’x17′ overall.
Thanks

Tickets for rear bench in XP4 1K?

Hey guys

I was curious if any of you have been running a rear bench seat in your XP41K’s? The way I understand the new laws, its legal for a 2013 or older model but not for the 14 and 15’s.

Any of you running one anyway? Any tickets? Or is this a law thats not strictly enforced?

Curious about enforcement on various OHV trails and also at Pismo/Glamis/Dumont

Thanks for any info

Will
