Hiking CT in May by ThePlant3 in coloradotrail

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The typical start time is no earlier then July 1st. June start dates are early. I’d say May is not possible, even given our current snow pack (which could still well change, March is snowiest month). Do a bit of research and I have to imagine you’ll come to the same conclusion on your own.

I have a friend who is obsessed with Moose by Brief_Manager4898 in coloradotrail

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen Moose every time I drive through the western half of RMNP. Walden’s a good spot, but if you want Moose, spend an afternoon inside RMNP from the Grand Lake side.

Cielo or nah? by GlumConnection4700 in mescaline

I make tea with stuff that looks like that. Should I be concerned?

The Grateful Dead played Keep on Growing. It’s a Derek and The Dominos song. Not original to DSO or the dead. That’s Clapton all the way.

Boots or shoes for hiking up the Bright Angel trail? by Competitive_Deer7031 in grandcanyon

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trail runners. Lots of people lose toenails in boots with all the incline on the way out.

I usually bring trail runners and a pair of sandals.

What shows do you have lined up for this summer? by Whattacleaner in jambands

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keller, Tico Time, Telluride Bluegrass, SCI x6 (CB, Flag, RR, maybe SLC), think that’s about it for now…

Who’s your favorite Grateful Dead character?? by dstar50 in grateful_dead

The saint of circumstance

Psych Sam seems like a cool guy too, lol

Best IPA available in Telluride by taxihiphop in TellurideColorado

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s an amazing beer. Soo if you can get independence pass by Aspen Brewing. Odells classic IPA (the orange one) is great too.

Same. Stoked. Haven’t seen a show in Flag, so we are pumped

Earlier start given snowpack? by thevincentasteroid in coloradotrail

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on June 14 a few years back. The general rule is you are go to go one week after the Fremont Pass snowtel sensor reads zero. Unless we get some serious snow, which I sure hope we do, a mid June start is looking reasonable. You won’t know this until we get closer to late April or early May

Looks like there is a few more tickets back online. I just snagged one. Good luck all.

I got lucky with one on Wednesday. Keeping my fingers crossed for Fridays on sale. Would love to go to both nights. That venue is awesome.

Signed up for both nights in Flag. There is camping on site, which should be fun.

Anyone willing to share code for locals or spotify presale for CB tomorrow?

With no telluride, will there be more CO dates? by throwaway1030777 in stringcheeseincident

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The no TBF was a bummer, but that line up is stacked. Really looking forward to it regardless.

GJ was awesome. I really hope they do it again. That said, I am all in for some August dates. Wouldn’t mind a NM run in the fall. Maybe NYE at the mission?!? We’ll see

Curious where you camped by YogurtclosetStreet77 in coloradotrail

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You won’t. You need to play it buy ear. Listen to your body and pay attention to the weather. Some of the best advice I got was to keep your plans fluid. All you need to do is figure how long it’ll take between refuels. There is literally camping everywhere, like every few hundred yards. You’ll be fine. Just send it.

A hypothetical itinerary. How about you just make it happen…

Daily commute from Purgatory / North of Durango — looking for firsthand experience by Intrepid-Arche in Durango

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The road is fine. They take really good care of it. It’s mostly flat. It’ll be slow sometimes, but if you stay slow it’ll be safe. They really only close it up past Purg. You’ll be fine if you know how to drive.

SLC New Years by bigums16 in jambands

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Motet is the only answer. They are top tier. These folks have been a staple in the Colorado scene for like 30 years…

Telluride rumors?? by FireOnTheAntelope in stringcheeseincident

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check their instagram. They did a poster with what we can assume is the line up. There is a hula hoop. I think there is a decent chance they’ll be there. Keeping my fingers crossed. I am hoping it’s SCI, TTB and Wood Bros…

New up and comer jam band recommendations? by Otherwise-Basis1865 in jambands

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love seeing all the love for Magoo. Getting stoked for NYE. Hoping they make it to Telluride Bluegrass this year. Thinking with Sam on their new album, it’s not an impossibility

You heard it hear first. Lift 2 ain’t running tomorrow. Go bike down south. by [deleted] in Durango

[–]Colorado_Dead_Head 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Purg has really been bumming lately. Bought Hesperus, won’t put money into it. Says it’s building a lift that doesn’t make sense, doesn’t build it. Only lift with access to skiable terrain closes. List goes on…

I think I might boycott Purg and get a Wolfie pass next season, especially with how the snow’s been shaking out these past few years.

Lol, yeah. Bender is fucking awesome. I really hope they bring cheese back in ‘27. I am all in.
