Leaving Colorado

IntrepidXpedition 2007 | Day 10
Saturday, July 28, 2007

When I woke up on that Saturday morning, I had been in Colorado for 9 full days. It was finally time to head out and move on to Utah. My destination for this day was the La Sal Mountains and Moab, Utah. I was planning on getting there via the Castleton-Gateway Road. In order to get to Gateway, I needed to cross over the passes to the Telluride side. I knew Black Bear still wasn’t opened yet, but had heard Ophir Pass was open again, so I decided to give Ophir a second chance. When I made it to the pass this time around, the road closed signs were gone, so I continued on down the other side towards the little town of Ophir.

MoabCO Trip 2006
Thursday, May 4, 2006

On Thursday morning we met up early and headed for Pritchett Canyon. I had been looking forward to checking out this trail for quite a while, so I was pretty excited about it. We had a pretty large group, so it took up most of the day to get through the trail and back to Moab. Plus we ran into a few groups ahead of us that slowed us down some more. The trail was as fun as I had hoped, and I didn’t even need to winch once with my 33’s. Here’s a few photos from the day.

MoabCO Trip 2006
Wednesday, May 3, 2006

On Wednesday we were originally supposed to run the Golden Spike trail, but since the trail leader’s wife hit a deer on the way down to Moab the night before we got a much later start to the day. Instead, we went and played around in Area BFE for a while. Our original goal was to run Green Day, but since none of us had really been there before we had a hard time finding it. We ended up running some of Green Day and then I played around on the entrance to Upper Helldorado for a little bit.
