Is that Yankee Hill? Or Slaughterhouse? Or neither? :hill:















Oh, I guess this isn't the Name the Trail game...:p:

It's Slaughterhouse. I snuck up and ran it on Friday morning. No snow, mostly dry with a little ice here and there. I did have to strap a tree off the trail about a third of a mile before the gate at the top (pic #3). Saw one occupied campsite and 2 other trucks. When I came out there were a couple of dirt bikes fixin to head up.

Thanks. No, not much. Some in the trees at the top but that's it.

Saw a couple of trucks parked in the trees, passed a couple on ATVs and a group of kids on a hike that had a definite Lord of the Flies feel about them. Looking forward to getting back up there in the fall when the aspens turn.

Shot a little video too. This is a totally different medium than what I'm used to with stills and I'm still getting it nailed down. Fun though.

Very cool. :thumb: I'm guessing you caught that with a GoPro?
Thanks for reminding me of Slaughterhouse gulch. It's been years since i've been up there. I'll have to go check that out next weekend.
