CO Trail Ride over the July 4th Weekend? Anyone?

[Gizmo42]

Mike and I are running Bill Moore Lake and Mill Creek (Emprie loop) tomorrow if anyone is interested.

I did not see this thread until tonight; I was out of town for 30th anniversary show and gathering for my other car in Indy.

I woke up this morning and had an itch to get my VX on a trail so we left around 11am and went to Devils Canyon for some off-roading. It is cool but we only did about a third of it, I would like to go back and drive the rest of the trails. We could have done all the trails but we took a wrong turn and drove up what looked like the trail but it soon turned into a boulder field and then dead-ended because of giant trees across the trail. So I had to get my VX turned around, this was not easy, and I scratched up my VX on tree branches. Then we had to drive back to the main trail to resume the journey.
I have the Guide to Colorado Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails guide so we have many good trails to explore in the future.

The three closest to Denver that are moderate not difficult or extreme are:
Devil's Canyon, Cascade Creek and Saxon Mountain.

When can everyone meet and do a trail? I can go next Sunday the 14th or maybe the next weekend if that is too soon.
