Kokopelli

[cruiseroutfit]

Question: The water crossing in the video's, and a few guys have asked/mentioned about it...where is that? I've done the trail a couple times and never had a water crossing in my path. Other than being caught in a flash flood up on Yellow Jacket of course.

Ditto, I know where the Delores fords are but they are not part of the recognized Kokopelli 4x4 Trail? Easily added as a side trip of course.

Re: Spring time trips. We ran it over Easter this past spring, the Delores optional crossings were too deep to cross, the La Sals were very wet (muddy) to the point mtn bikers had resorted to walking with their bikes over their shoulders. With the exception of mud there were no downfalls to a spring trip, but a wet winter could make it pretty impassible over the La Sal portion.

There are a ton of trip reports and beta threads on ExpeditionUtah.com and we are working on a Feature Trail writeup on our landing page - Kokopelli Trail

so where are we with this idea? I may be interested...just trying to decide if I want to take my 2000 Gary Fisher hardtail (80mm travel front shock - original to bike, never been serviced ) on this trip...

...my buddy and I rode Porcupine Rim this past CM on 5 and 6" (I was on a Titus El Guapo) travel bikes and that completely wore us out...

Still not 100% sure I can go, but just trying to keep the thread alive and see where it's at...

I dunno that anything has been settled. I actually sort of assumed that it was backburnered for the moment. Right now I am basically committed to Tuscon in February for the 24 Hours of the Old Pueblo for my vacation next year. We'd probably stop and ski Monarch one day and visit a buddy in Salida. A couple of days in Tucson and maybe a ski or bike day on the return leg depending on route and weather. That means that Cruise Moab is a no-go for me next year, although a long weekend on the Kokopelli could probably be squeezed in. If the trip needs to be tied with CM, then it would need to be the weekend before for me, I can't commit to a mid-week trip.

We're still interested, but yeah kind of too early to commit. We're also going to Minnesota next year for a family vacation, plus if there's a different family RS road trip then it may get the nod over this one. And honestly that's all we're after anyways, a fun RS family road trip.. I do want to do the Kokopelli though.

I'm still up for this, if we have a group that wants to go.
