hunters range

[ferniesnow]

This is the way most of the local old timers I know like to get in to hunters. It’s a decent ride if they haven’t plowed too far for logging.

Lots use that way to avoid trail passes. I prefer the groomed and support the club.

They groom to the Gordon Sydney cabin now and yes we have been up there. Looking at finding the way over to Owls from Gordon Sydney. Might need some one to tag along and show us the way. Haven't gone to the old trappers cabin and Swansea Point is out of our way. Love the Brash trail and all the play areas along the way and the grooming is excellent. As a HRSA member, it is sweet to use the groomed up and down.

May have to show ya here done time

I'll be up to it if you have a route that isn't too steep and deep.

It's not bad I have been over it a few times

Been once this year, was nice ride

Actually it was the last cold Sunday, was on the barrier of go or no go cause it was chilly out of the sun


Took the old doo talk way in

Rode Hunters today. Sun crust and lots of tracked out areas. What a difference in three days. Saturday was epic and today not worth going back until there is a reload. We did find some great snow deep in the trees without the crust that must have been shaded with wind blown snow deposited to make it great.

Rode with bobsledder and his wife Joy for the first time. Shared a great stuck way up in the trees and came away with a good story. Good folks and a great day!

Hunters IMO in the area has the best tree and meadow riding you can find hands down, it is my go to area if the weather isn't cooperating. It is also the largest riding zone and makes multiple connections with several other zones if you know the routs.
You can connect to Owls, King Fisher, Cook Creek and Park mountain on the east side of Mable.
Hunters Range in general is great for families and beginner a like yet has plenty of challenges to spice up the ride, tree riding varies depending on location and your desire.
Going over the saddle brings on a greater challenge if new to the area and is best to be visited with someone who knows the area.

looks like your running along “No mans land”
it is hard to tell 100% as being on my phone. But if that is true you can drop in and pull some of the chutes out.
there is also a trail in. It will also connect to Cook creek.
My advice is don’t go unless you know, when I was with SAR well over 90% of our rescues were guys going into drainage.

looking at it again, on my phone not the computer. I don’t think that is No mans land.

 

[snoflake]

Dang, I wish I would have been able to make that trip. Maybe on the 15th we can revisit the area, and connect some dots.
