It’s getting close to that time of year again.
This years Colorado Scramble will be the 10th annual as well as the 10th
anniversary and will be held in Leadville, CO. I had no
idea I’d be living here when this was selected but Leadville is in a beautiful
Alpine setting being the highest incorporated City in the US at 10,200ft. above
sea level. As always it will be in the last part of July on July
25th, 26th and 27th.
We will once again have our Pic-Nic on Friday afternoon as a final send off for all of those attending. Last year was the first year to have the meal catered and it went off rather well. I have not had a chance to find a local place that can do that so I’m not sure if we will do that again or not. It may be back to a cook out style Pic-Nic. There are a few different places to stay here in Leadville. The summers here are mild and nice so it is a fairly busy in the summer, making reservations in advance is highly recommended. As always you want to pack for summer and early spring as Colorado’s high country can get cool to cold, while not common you always have a chance of snow at any time. Long time residents here tell me that last year they had snow high in every month of the year. We will run a variety of trails from Easy to Moderate to slightly difficult, as always. Some will include Halfmoon Road, Birdseye Gulch, Mt. Zion and part of Mosquito Pass to name a few possibilities. These may change a little according to snow melt and the scouting of others. For info on Leadville you can look here: http://www.leadville.com/ there is a fair amount of info listed there. You can also look for lodging there using their lodging calculator that will include a stay at one of the local motels or house and condo rentals. I find that a couple of the house-by-night rentals to be fairly reasonable, especially if you want more than one room. Also located on Leadville.com is a listing of all the motels here at http://www.leadville.com/lodging/hotels-motels.asp all at different price levels of course. I have not been in the Delaware Hotel but hear it is pretty nice! As always I very much look forward to seeing everyone and seeing new folks as well. Please post up your intent to attend whether for sure or hopeful. See you all this summer… I cant wait . To see what its all about please visit http://www.coloradoscramble.com This is absolutly not a spam. I've been holding the even for the last 9 years, found your site and thought there may be a Scrambler owner or two that might be interested! Edited by 1badcj8 - Mar/29/2012 at 1:33pm |
