I have run Chinns lake a few times in the past 2 years, not difficult at all but it is gorgeous at the top. I have no idea if there would be snow but I would guess there probably is since the trail is pretty shades in spots.

Gotta be something low altitude unless we're talking a month out. I love Chinns but there's no way it is ready yet. Chinaman gulch sounds good but it's a 2+ hour drive. Slaughterhouse?

I've herd a couple of people that have run Slaughterhouse already this year. I thought Doug (Slimebones) said that he did maybe we can get a tail report :yup:

Hall Valley and Saxon Mountain look interesting. I'm seeing mixed reviews about Saxon Mountain about a potentially impassible side (depending on which site you look at) about halfway up. Here a picture from some one on 6/18/2014 http://www.wranglerforum.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1219385&d=1403152752 It may be passable now, but I wouldn't want to get a train of jeeps upto it and then figure out we needed to turn around or back down, doesnt look to be a whole bunch of space on that road
There are some other reports that you can go up and over it, but that's probably more exposure than most would want to deal with, its a long way back down to George town.

Yes I ran Slaughterhouse one month ago. Was clear then, but a lot of snow has dumped since then. Just could not say about now. It is not a difficult trail, so it probably would be fun even if there is a little "mud". Only one real obstacle on trail, and it has a bypass. Some nice tight spots through the trees. No jagged sharp rocks to cut tires. Fun trail.

My I request an avoidance of June 4th? The Wife and I are planning on driving up to Grand Junction and attending the Rocky Mountain Offroad Expo for the day. http://www.gmjc.org/#!offroad-expo/c1mr
If anyone is interested you are welcome to join us, either to meet up there, or Jeep train from the Denver Area. No real plans around any of that yet, but if people are interested I'm sure we can sort something out.

,Would like to join you d-dought. Sounds like a good overnighter because of that distance. Unfortunately, I will be working on Sundays every Sunday all summer, starting in June. Have to limit my wheelin to Saturdays. Somewhat shorter trips.
