This was a fun trail with many fun things to do. Water, mud, rocks, hiking. It was the highlight of the day.

Chihuahua Gulch is awesome. Great mix of obstacles and scenery. The Fall colors looked great last weekend but the views here should be good any time of year.

Rating is spot on at 4. Only a couple of rocky spots that required careful placement in order to prevent scraping. Water crossings are always fun as well. Any high clearance vehicle should be fine. Stocks Jeeps with no lift or bigger tires may scrape. I’d be shocked to see a stock Subaru at the back part of the trail!
Hike at the end is worth doing albeit tough. The views from the drive back are amazing and the hike to the lake is even better. Super quiet up there today and had very little traffic. Couple of great dispersed camp spots I’ll be heading back to at some point!

Beautiful views today. Stock Rubicon (no lift / 33" tires) scraped a bit between waypoints 3 & 4. Otherwise a great trip.

First time on this trail today. Took the SxS and found it to be a little technical in a few places. Just had to stop and pick a good line to get around some of the larger rocks. Some areas are pretty rutted out and the rocks are getting exposed more. The lake was really cool to see. Then on my way down there were very few vehicles but a ton of hikers.

Lots of hikers, ATV's and other 4x4's. Beautiful flowers and vista's. Some tougher areas to navigate thru yet never scraped the skid plates or need to lock the diffs. Upper parking lot for the Grey's and Torrey's trail head was packed. That's what I get for a summer midday Saturday outing.

One of my favorite trails near Keystone. Here’s a quick video I made showing the trail from start to finish. Made it easily in my stock Jeep, but required 4low for a few spots.

Trail is open all the way to the lake trailhead. Ran it in a lifted Tundra on 35's. Outside of being bumpy (make sure you air down) this trail was a breeze. The camp spot at waypoint 6 is the best! There is a creek running by it, and to the north east is an emergency cabin. Great views, fun trail. Will be back to fish the middle valley lakes.

Trail is open and there are no major changes to report on it. The start of the trail is now noted as being tougher than in previous years.

First trail ride for the Gladiator. We only went up to waypoint 7 and made camp but it was an excellent trail. Hope to go back and do the hike up to the lake sometime soon.

I talked to Dillon Ranger district today (7/9/2019). Peru Creek is still closed and gated. They said the open date is a "moving target." The road needs some repair before Chihuahua. Just past there, the road is blocked by avalanche debris and will be closed for some time yet.

The 2nd trail we did in the area that day and it did not disappoint. We had never been up to this trail before and the scenery and flowers at the top were great.
