Title: Run during the weekend of the MLK holiday period
Post by: Deadpilot on January 06, 2012, 08:48:35 AM

I dont know who may have a long weekend next weekend for MLK day. But if there is enough people interstered I was thinking about going exporling around the colorado river area up toward Blythe or north of Winterhaven. Theres a few good trails from what I have read. So is anyone in the area wanna come play?

You might want to look into taking Indian Pass Rd east off of Ogilby Rd.  Its been a long long time since I was there but its about 15-20 miles of dirt road/washes to the river.  I recall trails running off in various directions for good exploring but its easy to follow the main trail.  Really nice camp spots at the river.  One spot has a huge eddy that carries you up river about 100 yards puts you into the main flow and then pulls you back into the eddy for endless laps.   :D  This time of year would be nice but water would be cold.  Just a suggestion.
