i see you guy's have a hell hole trip coming up in a month. whats the trail like, is it hard, easy, moderate? what are the minimum size tires required? can this trail be done now or is there to much snow. how long does it take to do the trail. can it be done on a day trip? sorry for all the ????? i would like to do a trail soon, that's not covered in snow and not to far away. any suggestions would be appreciated
Everything is covered in snow right now (except the Hammers).
Hell Hole is a moderate trail. It is an in-n-out trail. Figure 4 to 10 hours depnding on the driver. Very pretty views, stpping at the lake, and only a couple of hard sections. 33" tires should do great on Hell Hole. 31 might do good too depending on the driver.

That doesn't include drive time to get there. It's in the middle of nowhere. As I remeber it takes at least an hour maybe two to get there from Georgetown.
You are correct. The trail takes 4 to 10 hours. Figure an hour and a half outside of Georgetown.
I'd like to tag along for this trip with my twins.
Also, this is a downhill trail so it's easy getting in and harder getting out.
the posse is going next month, wont there be snow still?
It's a low elevation trail...fingers crossed.
Here are a couple of pictures that give you some idea of the "tough" spots. Looking through my pictures it looks like in 2007 there was a bit of snow at the top in May. As I remember, it was a bit fun getting there, but the trail was in good shape.

At least you don't have to wait as long as the rest of us! 😀
would you guys mind me rounding up a bunch of guys to go with you on this trip. or would it make it to hard with a lot of rigs?

What's a bunch?
how many rigs can you handle? i have wheeled with 4 groups this year, and im starting to get more wheeling contacts.

The trail is narrow and there is only one way in and out. I would think anymore than 6 or 7 rigs would start to feel pretty cramped. Especially at the bottom assuming the reservoir is full. The turn around would get tight. Any other thoughts?
do you mean the whole group should only be 6 or 7 ,or 6 or 7 of my contacts?
I think it should be tied to who is actually going. Maybe we only have 4 from our club. and you had 4 more?
I think we had 6 on my last run and we ran into at least 2 other groups. Passing is tough on this trail with a large group.
i wont invite anyone untill you see how many are going, i think there will be snow there still anyway

6-7 total is what I was thinking. Snow won't stop us from trying to get there. It'll either be a snow run toward Hell Hole or a Hell Hole run. 😀 I'm not thinking there will be enough snow to stop us. It's only about 5,500 feet.
i was trying to think of that turn off to hell hole and it looked like there was a lot of snow on it last saturday when i past by it. i think. the snow this weekend is going to hit it again.
Maybe we need a roll call. Who's going?
I plan on going on this run.
