Descended into the Sand Hills area via this trail. Awesome views and pretty easy, just watch your angles on the switchbacks.

The Mullen Fire near Fox Park, WY more than doubled in size today to over 80k acres. This prompted forest closures along the Colorado / Wyoming border.

Trail was nice and saw only a few other users while we were on it. No other vehicles just OHVs using the trail. Beautiful views near the top and a fun ride.

The trail to Waypoint 5 is in the sun and free of snow for the most part. The rest of the trail is still heavily burdened with considerable snow. It will be a while before this one opens.

Mother Nature's mountain showers have helped the USFS contain the Badger Creek fire allowing for the trails is this area to open for regular use. Enjoy the forest responsibility, remember that fire danger remains high.

Seasonal Closure

Visited: 06/21/2018

The US Forest Service has closed all road around the area of Old Roach. The closure is because of the Badger Creek fire burning just north of the Wyoming / Colorado State line near Mountain Home, Wyoming. The area will remain closed until the fire is brought under control. Closed trails include: Hohnholz Lakes Road, North Sand Dunes Road, North Sand Hills, and Mendenhall.

Trail is still impassable by snow between waypoints 5 and 6. We made it though the first drift but only barely. The off camber snow made it a little sketchy but there was enough road exposed to get the outside tires on something solid. Still a fun trail with some incredible views across the valley to the mountains covered in snow.

This is the way to spend Black Friday, no crowds. After a day of playing at the North Sand Hills, I headed home via the North Sand Dunes Road. The area was snow covered, but because the steep climbs up North Sand Dunes Road are exposed to the sun, they were passable. The snow covered route near the shelf part of the road frayed nerves a bit. This is probably the last weekend for 2016 for this route. As I got into the forest where the snow was not exposed to the sun, the snow depth ranged from 4-8”. The only other tracks through the snow were from the deer and elk. Up to 12” of new snow is expected in this first week of December. It was a good end of the season run for this trail.
