Gilpin County Ride - 6/7/2022
Today, I did a little ride through Gilpin County, the smallest county in the state. I'm riding up above Apex, Colorado, an old mining/ghost-town. But it's still snowed in. I've tried several times this year to make it from Apex to Tolland, but so far, no luck. There's still too much snow. This time. I made it up above Apex on County Road 4N to Kingston Peak Road, where it turns north towards Tolland. But I didn't make it far before the snow was too deep for me to cross. So, I turned back, and followed Apex Valley road back to 119 where I turned north and followed 119 to Missouri Gulch Road to Rollinsville. From Rollinsville, I was going to head up Rollins Pass Road to the Moffatt Tunnel, or up to Yankee Doodle Lake / Needle's Eye Tunnel. But once I got to Rollinsville, it started to rain, so I turned back and came home. Crazy to think that there's still too much snow for me to be riding my trails in June.
