Eddie and Linnea will lead an exploration of 2 trails up on the Uncompahgre Plateau. They have never done these trails before so a trail rating is not available.

Lester and Ruth will lead Reservation Ridge and Timber Canyon Trail. Both trails are rated a “2”. Will drive back from Duchesne on pavement. Leave both days from the Holiday Inn Express in Price UT at 9:00am. Have lunch, a full tank of gas, snacks, water, etc.
Lester and Ruth will lead Dry Canyon Trail in the Price UT area. Trail is rated a “3”. This trail connects to Nine Mile Canyon, so you could continue on and explore Nine Mile Canyon, if you have never done that before. This trail does get up above 10,000ft at the high point.

Steve is planning lunch at the park in Silverton and then home on pavement due to afternoon monsoons in the San Junas.
Rick A. will lead Schofield Pass. Meet at Delta City Market at 9am. This is rated as a “difficult” trail. Have a full tank of gas, lunch, water, snacks, etc. This run is dependent on trail conditions and /or snow.
Club President, Terry H, will lead a run on the Morrison Jeep Road, near Cody WY. Plan to arrive in the Cody area on July 29th and run this trail on the 30th. It is an all day run – have plenty of gas, water, lunch and other snacks. Trail is rated as difficult. More details to follow.
If you are planning to join Terry and others in Cody to do the Morrison Jeep trail on July 30th, consider staying over on the 31st and joining Lester and I. We plan on doing some exploring in the area known as the Sunlight Basin, starting about 17 miles south and west of Cody. This exploration would be an all day adventure, some of which only opens for the season on July 16th. This is an approximate 35 mile backcountry drive which requires 4-wheel drive for the last 20 miles. Expect to ford the Sunlight Creek a few times and to be in the Shoshone National Forest most of the day. As always start with a full tank of gas, bring lunch, water and snacks.
Also, please let us know if you plan to join us. We certainly hope some one does as this is a remote area we’ve never been in before and would like the company.
Rick A. will lead Black Bear Backwards. Permit has been approved. Meet at South City Market by 4:45am in order to depart by 5:00 am. Have a full tank of gas, water, snacks, etc. NOTE: this run is for WS4W Club members only. Guests may come but only as passengers; all drivers must be club members.

Cinnamon Pass is rated moderate (3) with Wager Gulch being more difficult, maybe a 4. This will be a long day so be sure to bring lunch, snacks, plenty of water and a full tank of gas.
