RMOTHG Trip – North Tenmile Creek Trail

We will meet at 7:45 AM on Feb 10th at Wooly Mammoth Park & Ride, Section BB for a no later than 8:00 AM departure.  The Google Map location for Wooly Mammoth is HERE (click to open).  We will make a brief stop on the way to the trailhead at Downieville.  
Please call the morning of the trip if you are running late: 303-519-0364

The driving distance to the trailhead is 58 miles one way (116 miles round trip). The driver reimbursement is $35 per carload to be divided evenly among the riders. ($0.3 x 116 = $34.8)

We will drive west on I-70 to Main Street in Frisco, making a brief stop along the way at Downieville for a restroom break.  The trailhead is just north of I-70 at the Frisco Main Street exit.  Our turnaround point will be the boundary for the Eagles Nest Wilderness about 3 miles along the trail and at an elevation of about 9700 ft.  We will retrace our path back to the cars.  (FYI - the parking lot elevation is approximately 9150 feet.)

Trip distance is approximately 6.0 miles with 800 feet of elevation gain.

Our anticipated pace will be moderate, described as 1.4 - 1.6 miles per hour, BUT our actual pace will be adjusted to accommodate all participants as needed.

I'll provide a weather forecast 2 days before the trip.
