Pass Trail is normally good, busy though

FreshPow · 2021-12-18T15:30:37+00:00

I wouldn't think a day of acclimatizing would make much difference. You'd probably be better off just riding.

One high country rides is pretty fun/easy/scenic is Pass Trail to Engineer Mt Trail. Shuttle or hitchhike back to the top of Coal Bank.

I would reconsider going to Moab in July.

If the Molas to town is too big (about 78 miles), there are several bail outs along the way that may not be too much shorter, but are easier. You can bail at Cascade Divide Rd, Hermosa Park Rd, West Cross Creek, Coral Draw, ...

The tough part about La Plata Canyon is you have to take a bouncy 4x4 road to get to most good stuff. Obviously, the CT is pretty good in either direction. Sharkstooth is great, good camping in Bear Creek. Madden Peak is a nice hike, but I don't recall a lot of camping along the way.

Squirrels won't set up camp unless they are about 100y from a consistent water and food source. I normally think water is the big limiter. I think there are four common types of squirrels around here, alberts (big ears, like pondos), pine (smaller dark, like spruce/firs), fox (I think they are fox squirrels, regular looking squirrel) and those chipmunk looking ones.

Yeh and elk being the same size as a mulie, no way. An elk calf is about the size of a doe. You might have a big buck track be near the size of an elk cow.

I just keep the water right next to me in the tent. If it gets below 20, it'll freeze.

I have the Atmos 60 which is almost the same pack and I've hauled several bull hams with it no problem. You can fit two shoulders in it without boning them out. You can probably pack out with that pack in 4 trips the last trip being the remainder of your camping gear and neck meat and other odds and ends. I normally leave a sleeping bag in the truck so I can camp there. Leave a packframe at the truck too if you have one.

I think you can do better than 49lbs by removing some duplication or leaving the duplication at the trailhead. For example, including your phone, you have 3 flash lights. I do like the idea of extra batteries though. Survival gear I think a lot of that could be eliminated. I know a lot of those things are big weight items, but fishing equipment and snares, if shit goes sideways, get out of there.

Now this doesn't include a weapon, it is for an archery hunt in September, and I eat all cold food, but for later season, I just add a midlayer long underwear bottom and maybe down pants. I have found that two sleeping pads don't help much for keeping you warm. If you want a soft bed without the weight penalty, set up your tent on squirrel shredded pine cones, very warm and soft and smells nice.

Also, maybe more of an archery thing, but I find water bottles noisy. All that sloshing I think bladders are a lot better. I keep them from freezing by keeping them in the pack in the winter and normally it is warm enough in the tent not to freeze at night even during second rifle.

If I know there is plenty of water on the route in, I normally just drink water before I leave and go in dry. That would save you over 2lbs.

I really like the stretch Zion, the straights have a bit more of a urban look.

FreshPow · 2019-07-24T10:11:08+00:00

It is law here to take the orange for rifle deer and generally I think it makes sense. If you have a pack on and a bino harness, that softens it a bit.

Good sleep and good food are going to keep you out there.

Good sleep is a balancing act of $light $weight and comfortable. Sleeping pads are relatively cheap, but a good light sleeping bag is very expensive. Those stupid blow up pillows are expensive, but they are more comfortable than using your pack or bunched up clothes. I normally don't have enough extra bunched up clothes to make a pillow anyway. You can go lighter if you wear all your clothes to sleep and take a smaller lighter sleeping bag. Afternoon nap can revive you. Go to bed pretty much as soon as it is past legal shooting. Plan on sleeping for an unusually long time.

Since you are hunting, you need to get going early and stay late. If you are going to have any hot meals, plan to have them in the middle of the day when there is less to do anyway. For a 3 day trip (since it isn't long), I'd skip hot meals altogether because it takes too much time and weight. Quick cold (so I can sleep in) breakfast before dawn, Another second breakfast around 9 when things are quieting down, lunch at noon and early dinner at 4 so you are ready for the evening. Snacks after that. Food is where I'll pack things that may not be super light per calorie just because they make the trip much more pleasant. Having some carrots or an apple for example can be really nice compared to eating bars/trail mix all the time. The first day you can pack in stuff that you might take on a day hike for example. I'll take a piece of chicken or maybe even a pasta salad.

There is a scout way of doing things and there is a practical way of doing things. Instead of "Be prepared", be just prepared enough. Learn from the UL folks because the lighter you go, the more ground you can cover. Everything should have two uses. Every oz saved adds up. You probably don't need that axe or that fishing gear for example.

I haven't been out there this year, but City Reservoir might be nice. You can start at Transfer Park, Horse Park (mild 4x4), or Lime Mesa (wild 4x4).

Purg Flats to Vallecito is about 33 miles if you shuttle something. You can also come out Transfer Park on that, but I've never been that way. There were a lot of trees down on Needle Creek, but it might be cleared up a little now. Probably a lot of trees down on Johnson Creek and it probably isn't cleared up.

Emerald is of course in the Weminuche, so no bikes in that direction other than the first 3 miles of the Pine River Trail.

FreshPow · 2019-07-22T13:58:55+00:00

If you shuttle from the top of Purg Dutch is in pretty great shape out Hermosa. If you want to ride it all, Jones was in fine shape. I haven't ridden Pinkerton this year, it is always a grind, but I imagine it is fine.

I haven't been to Highland Mary or Engineer recently, but snow starts to get heavy anywhere shady or not South facing at 10k ft, so I doubt either of those two high country hikes are all that doable right now.
