Summer Trail Report

7/15/19: Good to go – whole loop riding (with Carbon and Green Lake)

7/8/19: Good to the saddle, then some snow and trees (we’ll get to them) on the way to Carbon.  Still snow on Carbon – so the loop is not doable yet.

Riding like a champ – if looking to get your skills on, get used to a new bike, or going for your first ride… the Bike Park and the Beginner trail/loop are the best place to start!

5/24: Good to go.  Mad love to Raynor Czwerwinski for cutting out mad trees on the loop!

7/11/19: Good to Go!

6/21/19: Open, but a big tree in the trail. Some water – please ride/hike through it – not around it.  Set good examples.  We’ll get the CBCC out there asap to cut that big’un.

The Bike Park at CBMR is now the Crested Butte Mountain Bike Park and full trail report and conditions/details for the goods up there can be found at: CBMR

5/15/19: Rode the Devine-Bridges-Upper loop today. Cut abut 10 trees. There are maybe 15 snow patches, only 5 or so are large. Most of the snow patches are super small and will be melted within a day or so, no mud around any of these. This loop is totally doable right now! Devine is 100% Bridges is 95% and the “old upper” is about 90%

7/11/19: Good to Go! Good Luck to Grin and Bear It runners.

7/5/19: Good up until the Carbon intersection. Ride/Hike the mud and snow, don’t go around please.

6/13/19: Still super duper closed. This trail is on private land. Please respect the closure to protect our access into the future.

6/27/19: Can ride the whole loop (for some days now… sorry late update) CBCC work done on it, riding great!

6/5/19: Riding out and back from the Upper Loop – no access via CBMR yet.

7/11/19: Lot’s of folks out here, please be courteous.

6/21/19:  Well I’ll be… it’s open.  Still wet in spots, please don’t ride or hike around puddles, go through them. You want to ride it, you have to do the right thing.  Please set good examples.

PLEASE Folks… NO Parking, not even Shuttling to the Lupine 1 start – you must hike or bike into Saddle Ridge.  And parking along Gothic Road – also not a good option.  Do the right thing – access only via muscle power!

6/3: Jam’ on it!  Good to go. Look for the CBCC out there tightening it up – so many thanks to the Land Trust and the Town of CB for this amazing amenity.

5/24/19: Good to Go!

7/15/19: Good to go – whole loop riding (with Carbon and Green Lake)

7/8/19: Good to the saddle, then some snow and trees (we’ll get to them) on the way to Carbon.  Still snow on Carbon – so the loop is not doable yet.

7/19/19: Good to Go!

7/15/19: melted out but still lots of mud,

7/8/19: Close, oh so close.  Mad love to Kelly Brooks from Paonia for doing the annual Dyke tree cutting out, still some snow at the first creek crossing, and some mud along the trail, but another week and it should be good to go!

7/25/19: 401 is good to go!  CBCC out there today diverting water, cutting trees, and mitigating impacts. Do be good to Mama Earth, and please ride your bike up there – shuttling and parking up there is a major problem.

7/11/19: For sure riding as out and back from Judd Falls. No new updates from Schofield Pass as of the post on the 4th. Facebook Post.   Please just ride as an out and back – mad damage is done by trudging through snow and mud just to HAVE to do the loop.  Out and back is so awesome, and you don’t include doing damage to valuable resources.

7/15/19:  The 2nd river crossing at Farris/Canal is a bit sporty. PLEASE use caution and know what you are getting into.

7/1/19: Farris is riding.  Don’t turn right at the bottom – that Brush Creek crossing is the MUY MUY Peligroso (very stinkin’ dangerous) one!

6/13/19: The Road out to Farris is open, but the singletrack is not. If you push through to the other side, the CREEKS ARE RAGING! You need to take the Bonus/Canal back to Brush Creek Road. Do not attempt to cross the Creek.

7/14/19: It’s riding, but still some sporty river crossings.  First crossing of Brush is not so bad, but the crossing at Farris/Canal is still quite sporty.  Use caution, and know you can get into trouble in that crossing.

7/1/19: Probably riding, or close to it, but DON’T attempt the crossing at the bottom – very dangerous.  If not there, the next crossing is very dangerous.  So for that, we saying it’s not riding!

7/15/19: trees down near top and still too wet. “We cleared that stretch of double top from 409.5 to Waterfall, but it was still holding lots of water so thought it better not to publicize yet.  We poked into waterfall but got snowed / treed out right where the new re route starts.  We’ll try to get beck there early next week, should be good by then.” from the Gunnison Valley O.H.V Alliance of Trailriders (The GOATs)  THANK YOU GOATS!
