This trip will require two days of driving to get there and two days to drive back. The days for trails would be Sept 8 - 13. I am willing to extend the dates of the trip if there was interest of other folks. I have never been to this area, it would all be new to me. The primary goal is to drive the Black Bear Pass Trail on one of the days. There are numerous other awesome trails in the area that range from easy to difficult. I will not be selecting any trail requiring more than 4 wheel drive and moderate lift (easy to moderate) unless there is interest of others. I have numerous books of trails of the area and On X maps has many as well to select from Lodging would either be VRBO or camping or combination of both depending on interest. I will not list an agenda at this time unless there is interest of others. The trail selection is wide open depending on the interest of folks who would be going.
Please post if interested.
