Be apart of the 25th Annual Spooky Night Run!

Dress up your family, dogs, and trucks for a fun drive into the night! Trail will be tame for more family and friends fun time! We'll have dinner on the trail. Maybe some trunk-or-treating... I'll be keeping an eye on the burn ban so hopefully we'll be enjoying dinner around a fire. Propane firepits will be welcome as a secondary or back up.

When:
Date:
Oct 26th
Time: 3:30pm

Where:
Trail:
Devil's Canyon Trail
Meet here:
Ponder Point Picnic Area
39°40'59.0"N 105°36'29.9"W (39.683056, -105.608306)

We've ran Slaughterhouse Gulch and Devils Canyon the last 4 years. Open to another option, but the trail will be on the milder side as darkness changes things. Plus this is more of a family laid back trip than hard wheeling. There might even be snow...

Radio Channels:
HAM: 146.460
FRS/GMRS: CH 17
CB: Who's only running CB? CH 4, I guess...

We'll shoot to find a flat open spot for the group to have dinner, relax, and wait for sunset. Then, we'll finish the trail in the dark and back into town.

What to Bring:
Food and drinks (not alcohol)
Family and dogs
Warm mountain appropriate clothes
Camp chairs
Propane firepits - to help if there's a burn ban
Recovery gear - Prepare for anything. Search "Rescue The Jeeps" Night Run...
Candy for the kiddos
Decorations or costumes

Please leave at home:
Alcohol/firearms
mean kids/dogs
bad attitude
non trail worthy rigs - you know what qualifies

Confirmed Trucks:

The family has reached a consensus (it's a Halloween miracle) and we are in. 🎃

That right there is spooky. 👻

I think I’m going to go with Devil’s Canyon. Meeting spot will be at the Clear Creek Ranger District parking lot Ponder Point Picnic Area:
39°40'59.0"N 105°36'29.9"W (39.683056, -105.608306)

May camp that night if anyone would be interested in an overnight spooky campout…

@MountainGoat - Do you still have a propane fireplace for us to gather around should there be a burn ban?
