There is really no shortage of campsites at Camp Hale. The official sites hold limited #'s but the rest of the area is covered with RV and tents along the forest service roads that come in and out of the area. For Romer. You can leave your trailer in camphale. Wearyman's and McCalasters are both loops that are in and out of camphale area. I did Wearymans today. 2 hours from RedCliff to CampHale. Went up to crux of McCalasters and my friends stock ford couldn't get up So we turned around and went back down. Stopped by Mango's they insist they'll be open by that weekend. One of the owners Tim has a 78 fj 40 w/33k. They'd love us to stop in. I'm trying to talk him into joining us for part of it.
?'s for the trail leader. Are we going up Wearymans form the north(redcliff) into camphale? then up McCalasters and back down into camp hale?

Is it better to take highway 91 and Freemont Pass out of Frisco and then north on 24 or take I-70 to Highway 24 to get to Camp Hale? How are we getting to Fairplay on Saturday morning from Camp Hale? Just wondering what time we would have to get up on Saturday to get to Fairplay by 9?

and I missed the original post with the question. Sorry, Ken. If one needed or wanted, the lunch stop in Redcliff would be an opportune time to pack up and head out. Redcliff is only 10-15 minutes north of Camp Hale via US 24. You could head out after lunch south to Camp Hale, hook up the trailer, and head back north on US 24 to Minturn and I-70. From there its only 2-2.5 hours home. The whole trail system there lends itself to easy outs if weather or problems show up.
Sunday in Camp Hale has us leaving and going north on McAlister Gulch to Shrine Pass road. Then we were going to hit Lime Creek trail, and come back toward Redcliff for lunch. After lunch we would head back to Camp Hale via Wearymans and Ptarmigan Pass. Should put us on our way back to I-70 between 3 and 4pm. When I came home on the pre-run, we got back about 5:30pm, after cresting Vail Pass about 3:30.
To your last question Ken, we will want to head out early on Saturday(7:30-ish). We will either go over Weston Pass to Fairplay, or thru Buena Vista and up to Fairplay. To get to Camp Hale directly from Denver I would suggest taking I-70 to US 24 south.

Roll Call
If there are any more late comers, please PM groucho. Usually someone doesn't make it, so we will try to fit anyone else in.
HOWEVER, the run is at capacity as of right now. The folks on the list are confirmed. The reason that the limit was put on was to avoid crowding and the need for 4 or more trail leaders/gunners to split the group in half.
This should be pretty awesome. Now we just need to know who will be camping in Camp Hale friday night? Roll call for this?
We will be. Leaving Denver @ 1-2 pm friday. Anyone else?
