    Colorado GMU 53

    Late Sept and Early Oct are generally very nice BUT.... anything can happen that time of year in the high country. Hot and dry to massive 12 hour long rain storms to significant snowfall. Just got to be prepared to weather it all.

    Colorado GMU 53

    The place really has become a zoo. On Black Mesa and up Coal Creek like other's have said. As for water yes there is always water in the mountains (any mountain) you just have to know where to look. This year there will most likely still be snow banks in the high basin.

" But the reality is that the roads do get widened and trashed if the are impassible to everything but 4x4's with all 4 chained...

    NW Colo 1st Rifle Elk and roads/tires/chains

    If the roads are so bad that you must use chains then please just stay off of them. This country gets torn to shreds during a wet hunting season and we locals live with that damage all year long. Thanks in advance
