Skill Level: Intermediate, and Almost Intermediate.
Ride Description: Very little trail riding; we’ll use only as necessary to go to meadows that are surrounded by hills with widely spaced trees. Recommend downloading the free COTREX app if you don’t have another winter trails app that shows the trails at these three areas.
Location: Due to currently forecasted whiteout conditions at Rabbit Ears Pass – Dumont Lot, we will meet at Moose Cafe in Kremmling, look at the current forecast there, then decide to go to either Rabbit Ears – Dumont Lot, Rabbit Ears – Muddy Creek Lot, Red Dirt Reservoir, or Spring Creek. All are a roughly 30 minute drive from Moose Cafe. See View Venue Website below for directions to Moose Cafe. The 4 possible riding areas are:
