This will make the actual trail to the Iron Fens so much safer and smoother on for the following days fun ride. Please bring helmets, eye glass protection, and work gloves. You will also need to bring plenty of water and a snack/lunch. Please arrive early enough to tack up and receive safety briefing. We would recommend 9:30am. We will be ready to ride at 10:30 am.

Meet @TH by 9:30am, ready to ride at 10:30am.
Description: Bruno Gulch Camping & Fun Ride. Have you been itching to explore some of the horseback riding in Pike National Forest? Come spend the day riding in the shadows of thirteeners along Geneva Creek. Explore with seasoned riders an area that is one of the South Platte District's best kept secrets! This excursion is on a very high elevation trail, so please be certain you and your equine can handle the challenges that come with altitudes of 9,600-12,000ft. There will be water crossings, technical and/or very rocky sections, possible downed trees/obstacles, as well as ATVs/side-by-sides/Jeeps on different segments (parts of this trail are 4x4 two-track roads). We expect to see different wildlife, spectacular photo ops, and likely a fair amount of bikers and tourists. Please ensure you arrive on time for the trail ride, considering any potential travel delays, as the ride will start promptly at 11am.
As far as camping is concerned, we welcome participants to experience camping the night before the ride if they have the essentials for their horses: food, water, and containment. There will not be a designated camp host, so plan accordingly to be self-contained as there are no facilities, hookups, or planned meals.
Directions: We will be camping near the Bruno Gulch Corrals, which are located about one mile up Bruno Gulch Road near Dillon (
https://trails.colorado.gov/roads/bruno-gulch-7575). Coming from 285, head north on Guanella Pass Road (Geneva Rd) about 6 miles, passing Whiteside and Burning Bear Campgrounds. Look for Bruno Gulch Road (FS 118.E) on the left. If you see Duck Creek Picnic area, you went just a little too far! Coordinates: 39.527584, -105.745926 (takes you to meadow just before corrals)
