It depends on snow. In 2011 it didn't open until 7/14.Looks like it may normally open 7/1 South Platte Ranger District. We'll see what Matt finds out. Hoping to make this one, just getting the 80 back running since Moab.

Too much lightning/ weather risk to go up today- I am messaging the forest service to see. From Summit side- Websters Pass gate was closed as of yesterday, but I am waiting for the response about Handcart rd (the loop most denverites use to return home).Hey guys. Keela is going out to Red Cone today to check it out and see what’s open and trail conditions. I’ll post up here when I hear back from her.
Excited to joinHey everyone,
I'd like to run Red Cone this summer, but I'm concerned about snow and starting in the afternoon. Maybe we can blow off work another day in July and start in the morning rather than the afternoon.
So let's go run Slaughterhouse Gulch. For those who have run this trail before, it's fun and scenic. If you're new-ish to the club, it's a great first run to do with Rising Sun.
Let's meet at 1:00 pm at the SAFEWAY in Conifer. Address is: 27152 Main St, Conifer, CO 80433
(Yes, we've met at the King Soopers in the past, but there is a Sonic in the same parking lot at the Safeway).

No!!!!! 😱Well, I'm out. The 71 and 81 are down...
71, the starter wouldn't disengage and I'm sure it's gone with the amount of smoke coming from the truck. Pretty sure it's cooked. The 81 drive flanges and birfields splines went...No!!!!! 😱
