2015 40's Only Run

[Rezarf]

If anyone is running behind, cell coverage will be minimal but these directions are accurate of the route.

Driving Directions
You can run this trail in either direction, but it is easiest to find your way out if you end on Fall River Road. Take I-70 or U.S. 6 from Denver to Highway 119.

Take this through Blackhawk to Rollinsville.

Turn left on F.S. 149 and go about 5 miles. Just past Tolland turn left on F.S. 176, the start of the Mammoth Gulch trail.

About 1.5 miles in continue straight to what becomes F.S. 353 (do not take F.S. 183 or F.S. 176). This is the trailhead for Kingston Peak.

Go straight again at 2.3 miles.

At 3.5 miles follow 353 to the right and go 8 more miles, bearing right three more times (do not take F.S. 175).

The rest of the trail is pretty obvious. Once you get to the other side and start to make your way down below timberline F.S. 353 becomes Hilltop Road. Follow this and turn left on Hillside Road (yes, there is a Hilltop and a Hillside).

Turn right on Nebraska,

then left on Texas Drive.

Turn right on Silvercreek,

left on Alice Road very briefly,

then right on Fall River Road. This will take you out to I-70.[\I]

Hope your KC buddy doesn't feel like jumping off of a cliff after last night's Broncos/Chiefs game.

I am in! It will be my first run and my first time off-road with the 40 since I tore it apart nearly 5 years ago.

My wife and I are coming over this evening for some slots and will see you all at the trailhead in the morning.

Heading up over Coal Creek Road, with a quick detour to Nederland to top off. Sweet to see all the first time 40's run participants that are coming

It takes me 45 minutes in my dump truck (43mph max, and a LOT slower than a 40). Take Oh My Gawd Road (Virginia Canyon out of Idaho Springs). Perfect road for a slower vehicle.

Dan, you're killing me with non Google directions what's the name of the road technically?

We just got done taking the top off our 40 and taking her for a little cruise around town. We are in! See you all tomorrow. Looking forward to our first 40s Only Run!

[ndcruiser]

Ah, Virginia canyon IS the name of the road. I'll do that. Thanks

 

[Cocarlisle]

Take lots of pictures
I'm so bummed I can't go today ......Real Estate
Have fun !

 

[Bret]

Just a early "Thank you" for letting me tag along! Was great seeing so many 40 series, especially the pristine ones, and the not so pristine ones. Considering the number of 40's that ran day 1 there was a very low incident rate.

Have a great evening and safe travels home.
