I would definitely drive in from the South by Lake Granby though.


How else would you get there? Trail Ridge wont open for weeks. The park got another 2' of snow last weekend. Winter is not over there.

50 is closed west of Gunnison due to a bridge failing...so Black Canyon will be a trek. I am sure someone will come argue about it but Gunnison sucks. It's only redeeming quality is being near Crested Butte. What would you do there, go walk around Hartman Rocks?

Now might be a perfect time to hit Sand Dunes then perhaps a night around Del Norte then head up through the Arkansas Valley in BV/Salida. I was just in BV Tuesday, the lower stuff is dry and the river will be running soon.

Anything high or in the trees will be socked in this time of year.

I’m only there to hike and maybe fly fish. I don’t care for snow skiing. I hiked Two Sisters once in early April with my wife. The snow isn’t that big a deal to me. I really appreciate the info and I’ll let you know what I decide and I’ll definitely be on here asking for more recommendations along the way.
