Meet at the northern dirt area in front of The Fort Restaurant (39.629223, -105.193323) at 6:45 am for a prompt 7:00 drive away.
We will make a comfort stop at the Bailey Loaf N Jug (173 Bulldogger Rd, Bailey, CO 80421). In return for our frequent use of their facilities, a good number of us should buy a little something (coffee, a trail snack, etc.).
This trail is forested and faces mostly north, so it tends to hold snow, but the first couple of miles on the Brookside McCurdy Trail is open meadow and may require microspikes.
Required Equipment
Ten essentials, layered clothing suitable for the day's weather, lunch, snowshoe kit and microspikes.
