Bright Trail

Ran this trail today. Not too busy, passed a few locals walking their dogs. A couple good spots for a picnic or camping, and a few mud puddles with all of the recent rain. Didn't need 4x4 at all on this trail, but it's pretty.

Pretty easy trail with good camp spots and nice views!

Beautiful views, easy to navigate. 4 Hi, no issues. Short trip - in and out - plenty of time to find another when done

The trail is in great condition. Most of the mud and water has dried up. If you are looking for a quick and easy trail not far from the front range, this is always a winner. No campers and not much vehicle traffic. Later in the season it becomes busy and packed with campers/hikers as it's easily accessible with most vehicles. I have even seen a few mini vans at the top. There are hidden views all over if you take the time to get out of your vehicle and explore.

This trail is closed for the season! See you in 2022!

Trail was open and in great shape. Fun quick drive with some scenery and hiking available. Definitely no need for low four but I did air down to provide some extra comfort and to protect the suspension. I went over labor day weekend so traffic was heavy with campers and hikers. The campsites at the end of the trail were taken by a large party and several vehicles. There were several large dispersed campsites along the 330C spur that were available.

The trail was is pretty solid shape with little to no snow cover for most of the trails. Just be mindful of hikers walking up the road for the two trails that are there.

Still temporarily closed due to wildlife concerns.

Trail was closed because of animal comfort. Not happy!

Trail is under seasonal closure until 5/15

Trail is open for the season and has received some much needed repair. The obstacle on Waypoint 2 is not just a steep hill. A load of large sized road gravel was spread down the hill side to fill in all the water erosion and to help prevent future erosion. A stock car is now capable again of doing the main trail. Still not recommended to take a car on the B and C spurs as those still have large rocks.

As part of our solar eclipse mountain trip, we stopped off and journeyed Bright Trail for our first time this year. We had tried a few times earlier this year to run it but it opened late this year due to the large amount of snow fall received. Which had noticeable taken a toll on the road. As the rock obstacle early on in the trail had a significantly wash rut down it. Resulting is the believe we could no loner bring lower clearance vehicles up this trail. Such and Outbacks and such that we had brought along in the past.
