The Switzerland Trail

We rode up to Boulder,took Four Mile Canyon to Gold Hill, West to the Switzerland Trail, and headed south.

On the trail - Conditions were great on the roads that get sunshine. In the shady spots there was still quite a bit of ice and snow.

All of the major roads we took up and back were pretty clean for the most part. HWY93, Boulder Canyon, Four Mile Canyon, Peak to Peak HWY, I-70.

I just watched it.

Cool

That song kicks ass. I never tire of hearing it.

If you are wondering where the Switzerland Trail is and how we got there.

The route up there....

The Switzerland trail is the dotted line in between the end of these directions and the start of the next ones.

And Back...

Do you have a GPS track or something?

I do have to kill a couple of days in the Denver area this weekend.

I don't have any GPS tracks for that area. You might throw it up in the Layin' down tracks section and see if anyone else does.

Looks like they got some more snow up there.... couple weeks I'll be back up there....

Anyone know how the Switz is right now? We got a foot of snow up there Thursday but it was really nice today.

I think Cheryl & I might ride it tomorrow..

Ed, give me a call in the morning I would like to go check it out too.

I had the chance to get up there today and check it out. There was still a lot of snow on the trail but it was passable. It was very wet and rainy up there today. Still had a lot of fun and enjoyed the trails. Looking forward to going back and checking it out more when there is less white stuff on the ground.

I think we saw you guys headed out while we were loading up. Didn't bring enough gear for the rain and snow.
When you crossed 4mile canyon road did you go pass all the "No Trespassing" along the trail? 1st time up there for us and we figured the trail went through but we weren't 100% sure. I was cold and went by then anyway and we turned around. Probably head back when it's a little dryer in a few weeks.
