FYI... I was just in Fairplay this AM, and drove over Kenosha. There is still plenty of snow at the higher elevations. And with the park service
pushing out the opening of Trrail Ridge Road another week or so due to snowpack, I don't know how much actual dirt your tires will get to see.
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's off-road parade, but just thought I'd offer this info as a head's up. I was hoping to get in some good Red Cone rides myself early this summer - but I think the fun passes are at least a month out before the average 4x4 can tackle them.
