Do we know if we will be able to get a smaller (23') class c RV to the camping spot?

Ran Paradise Divide yesterday and over to gothic before returning to CB.

Absolutely stunning trail, everything was open and easy (pulled my Baja pop up along the way).

There were zero, like literally no camping sites available as fyi (probably because this is the busiest weekend).

@Roborado there are sites available to you if you do Slate River Road/Paradise first, like we did. I’d find a site and meet the group after.

Check out Musicians Camp sites off slate river road.

I second @shellb for RV camping. If you go that route we easily arrange group meet ups for trail mornings and you guys can off course hang out with at camp/dinner after trail days.

@shellb we have at least 2 or 3 people who can make it down earlier in the week to find a spot for us. I feel it's going to be a little tough but good thoughts bring good camp spots.
I can't wait to make it down and check out the flowers and trails. Super excited! Any good pictures from your trip?

Yes! I’ll post some up.

I’d highly recommend East River Trail (@ Brush Creek Trail Head). It’s super easy for any and all ages with amazing views and flowers!

I was able to check them out! It's gorgeous and I can't wait to for this trip. Looks like you guys had a great time.

Be doing a quick run up towards CB/Gunnison Tues (tomorrow) and maybe Wed. If there's something I can scope for ya I'll probably have a few hours to kill and I might could be convinced to ride it instead of 401 or Hartman's or whatever via dos ruedas...

 

[Yarn Cruiser]

@DaveInDenver anything is helpful but I am really not sure. Hope you have a great time!

Good Afternoon. I need to withdraw from the run, have a family issue to take care of. Unfortunate to miss as the wildflowers were as interesting as the wheeling. Have a great trip, be safe and can't wait to see pictures! Chris

 

[Yarn Cruiser]

@Herring you will be missed! We will hopefully take a ton of pictures to share.

I was up in the Maroon Bells Snowmass wilderness yesterday and the wildflowers are out of control this year. Fields of columbines up high. Timing should be perfect! Snow is just about all gone.

 

[Yarn Cruiser]

@KC Masterpiece I cannot wait! Wonderful pictures!

For those going to wildflower cruise. We have 1 or 2 surprises for you

Similar findings on trail 401 up by CB. Still plenty hot, 91 in Gunnison Wednesday though. Ugh.

Fingers crossed for cool nights and a couple places to dip my feet in.
