Oh my god,Nevadaville, Yankee Hill Road, March 1st, 2026

[Mag71k5]

Trail Information, *This ride is now full, Don't worry I'll host more*
Well be taking Oh My God road from Idaho Springs into Blackhawk, get on Nevadaville Road, and continue to Yankee Hill Road.

Oh My God, and Nevadaville are basic 2wd accessible dirt roads, but both have decent views of the surrounding area, and old mining equipment and buildings. Nevadaville is also a gold mining ghost town.

Difficulty,
The only difficulty from this run will be from heavy snowfall between now and the run on Yankee Hill, looking at the weather. Theres only a few days below freezing in Idaho Springs, and one day has a 50% chance of snow. Trail reports from other runs have stated there isnt much snow or ice on the trail, from beginning to end.

Recommended Vehicle
Stock 4x4, high clearance, low range and good tires should be enough.

Meet-up/What to bring,
We'll meet at the USFS work area MEET HERE
At 10:00AM, Well leave for the trails around 10:20AM.

Bring,
Food/Water
Warm Clothes
Gloves
Shovel
Proper rated Recovery Strap
Front and Rear Recovery Points
Spare Tire and or Patch Kit
CB/GMRS radio is strongly preferred.


All of my runs are new member and beginner 4x4 friendly, if you have questions you can ask here or directly.

Id like to get 3-4 other rigs on the trail. I do have two friends coming along, one in a pretty stock third gen tacoma, and another in a moderately built discovery 2, both are new to offroading in the Rockies

Id love to be at or around 6-7 rigs.

Lets try and find a bit of snow, during this crazy winter!

I think I'll be able to come unless I end up bowling that day on a tournament. I'll probably know more by tomorrow night on that.

I won't be able to make it I don't think? I'll have to be in Fort Collins by 2 pm for a bowling tournament, not sure how long the run will take.

Yeah I wouldnt count on being in FoCo by that time, thats probably when we'll be finishing up.

Bummer, I really did want to go. I suppose maybe I could do like half of it. I might be bowling on Saturday too anyway so we'll see.

I may be in, it'll be a game day decision

No worries, like I said I host something every month or so.

 

[LoCo200]

I’m in. Thanks for hosting! I have a mostly stock 200 and put me in the newbie category. Andy Jordan thanks for the forward!

 

[NotyourmomsWife]

I might be in, this sounds like a good run to let the kiddo drive I’ll have to ask him if he’s interested.

 

[procomsignathid]

I’ll be there as well!

 

[Stephen Reavill]

Well since I picked up my new to me transfer case today. Then since I was already in Denver and was sad I can't go on the run I decided to drive up to Yankee Hill for fun.

I took some pictures, I drove around random trails in the area and there are some snowy spots but most of it is pretty clear. Hopefully everyone has a good time.

 

[Cruiser45]

If there is still space for one more I would like to be a part of the group as well. If there’s snow on the passes then I will not make it.
Please let me know.
Thanks

Sure, we'll see you there.

I’d like to go if there is still a spot. I want to make a trial run of this winter’s mods and will be all loaded up like on a multi-night trip just to check on the rub spots and possible improvements. It sounds like these trails would be good for this sort of thing.
